This ground-floor one-bedroom flat in Norfolk House offers a practical, move-in-ready option for first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-entry property. The apartment benefits from a long 151–152 year lease, allocated off-street parking and attractive communal gardens that give a pleasant green outlook. Being chain-free makes a quick transaction possible.
Accommodation is compact but well laid-out: an entrance hall, double bedroom, lounge overlooking the grounds, fitted kitchen and a full bathroom. The building has double glazing and secure entry. Main heating is by electric room heaters — simple to run for occasional use but likely more expensive than gas central heating.
Location is a key strength: a short walk to Kings Norton Green, regular bus routes and Kings Norton train station for city links. Local amenities include shops, a monthly farmers’ market and nearby parks. Council tax band is low which helps running costs.
Be candid about the negatives: the area registers higher-than-average crime and significant local deprivation, and the block dates from the 1980s so some communal maintenance or component renewals may arise over time. The flat is compact at about 455 sq ft, so it suits single buyers, couples or buy-to-let investors rather than larger households.
