This compact one-bedroom ground-floor flat sits in the heart of Walsall town centre, offering immediate rental or low-maintenance owner-occupation potential. The open-plan lounge/kitchen and single bedroom make efficient use of the 377 ft² footprint, and resident permit parking is available on-site. The property is sold with no upward chain but is marketed for cash buyers only.
The specification is basic: double glazing, fitted kitchen units, and electric storage heaters. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and appears structurally typical of purpose-built flats of that era. There is no private garden and communal outside space is limited.
Key drawbacks are material to buyer decisions: the flat is leasehold (additional fees such as lease packs may apply), it requires updating and cosmetic refurbishment, and heating is by electric storage heaters which can be costly to run. The surrounding area is described as very deprived with a high local crime rate; these factors will influence mortgage availability and tenant demand.
This property is best suited to experienced investors or cash buyers who understand local market dynamics and refurbishment costs. For the right buyer it presents an affordable entry into an urban rental market, close to transport links and town-centre amenities, with potential to improve value through modernization.
