A well-presented third-floor apartment in Dickens Heath offering two double bedrooms, an ensuite to the master and an open-plan living/kitchen with a Juliet balcony that brings in natural light. The home is double-glazed and finished for modern living with integrated appliances and a clean, contemporary feel throughout.
Practical benefits include two secure, allocated underground parking spaces and a video intercom secure-entry system for peace of mind. The long lease (approximately 141 years) reduces long-term leasehold risk and the location gives immediate access to local shops, schools and transport links to Shirley and Solihull.
Considerations: this is a compact apartment (circa 598 sq ft) with no private garden and a relatively high annual service charge (around £2,970). Heating is electric via room heaters rather than a gas central system, which may affect running costs. Buyers should also allow for possible additional leasehold admin fees and confirm appliance and services condition during survey.
Ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-maintenance property in a very affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and good local schools. The apartment’s secure parking, long lease and ready-to-move-in presentation make it straightforward to occupy or rent quickly, while cosmetic updates could add value for longer-term owners.
