A compact first-floor one-bedroom maisonette with off-street parking and a private garden, set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Kings Norton. The flat benefits from an extended lease of 99 years with no ground rent or service charge (peppercorn) and useful loft storage. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, making it practical for remote working or streaming.
Internally the layout is traditional and economical — living room with breakfast bar, fitted kitchen, laundry area and shower room all within about 315 sq ft. The property is double-glazed and EPC rated D. Heating is by electric room heaters, so running costs may be higher than a central-heated home and could justify upgrading if desired.
This home will suit a first-time buyer looking for an affordable entry into Birmingham property or a buy-to-let investor seeking a low-maintenance flat with parking and garden. There are good transport links and nearby schools rated Good, but buyers should weigh the local context: the wider area is very deprived with a high crime rate, which will affect resale and lettings for some tenants.
While the flat is presented as clean and functional, some images and notes suggest dated fittings and potential scope for modernisation to add value. Buyers should verify lease details and running costs with their solicitor and consider a survey to check the electrical/heating systems and general condition.
