This well-presented top-floor apartment in Dickens Heath offers a compact, move-in-ready layout suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The open-plan living area and fitted kitchen create an airy social hub, while two double bedrooms provide flexible sleeping or home-working space. Lift access and a secure communal entrance make upper-floor living straightforward.
Practical features include UPVC double glazing and electric storage heaters; the apartment sits within a purpose-built red-brick block with attractive Georgian-revival styling. The property footprint is approximately 715 sq ft (about 66.5 sq m), giving a comfortable but not oversized two-bedroom plan. Local amenities, schools rated Good, bus links and easy M42 access make this a convenient village-centre choice.
Buyers should note there is no private outdoor space and the apartment has a single bathroom, which may be a constraint for households wanting a garden or more bathrooms. The property is leasehold with an unusually long lease (approx. 976 years), an annual service charge of about £2,228.12 and a ground rent of approx. £200 p.a. (escalating). Heating is electric; buyers wanting gas central heating would face additional works and cost.
Overall this apartment suits buyers seeking a well-located, low-maintenance home or a rental purchase with clear running costs. Verify service charge and ground rent arrangements with your solicitor and budget for electric-heating running costs and the lack of private outdoor amenity.
