*Available Now & Fully Furnished* This high-specification one-bedroom apartment is located on the second floor and comes complete with its own private balcony in the Ashted Wharf development at Glasswater Locks, Birmingham, B4.

Glasswater Locks itself has been designed as a new gateway between Birmingham’s Eastside and the city’s dynamic Learning Quarter, seamlessly blending elegant landscaping with modern facilities. The development offers residents a peaceful canalside setting while still being surrounded by the vibrancy of city life.

Inside the apartment, quality and attention to detail are evident throughout. The hallway, kitchen, and living room are finished with timber-effect flooring, while the bedroom is fitted with soft carpets for added comfort. The feature front entrance door is equipped with a high-security multi-point locking system and spy hole, complemented by matt black ironmongery throughout the home.

Outdoor spaces are a defining feature of Glasswater Locks. Carefully landscaped areas and elevated courtyard gardens exclusive to residents allow natural light to flow through the development, encouraging time spent outdoors. The landscaping has been thoughtfully designed to capture both the calmness and the vitality of the surrounding canals, creating an atmosphere equally suited to enjoying a book in the sun or jogging along the water’s edge.

At the heart of the community lies the Canal-side Club, created to support contemporary lifestyles by promoting wellbeing and balance between work and leisure. Spanning 5,385 square feet, the facilities include a welcoming library area, a private meeting room, and a series of co-working stations for those working from home. A 24-hour concierge ensures round-the-clock assistance, while a coffee bar, private gym, and cinema room provide opportunities to relax, recharge, and enjoy downtime.

The development’s location is equally compelling.

For those seeking leisure and culture, the lively dining and nightlife scenes of Digbeth and the historic Jewellery Quarter are just moments away.
