This ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers practical urban living in Erdington with a private patio opening onto communal gardens. The layout includes an open-plan lounge/kitchen, two bedrooms and a family bathroom within a compact 552 sq ft — suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance home near transport links.
The building dates from the early 2000s and benefits from double glazing and modern construction methods. There is an allocated off-street parking space and communal green space, plus easy access to local shops, bus routes and nearby train stations for commuting into Birmingham.
Important practical points: the property uses electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, and the area scores high for deprivation with above-average crime levels. The lease has about 129 years remaining and council tax is low. Given the flat’s small overall size and basic heating, buyers should budget for potential energy-cost improvements or cosmetic updates to maximise comfort and value.
