Apartment 6 is one of those homes that quietly gets everything right.

Set to the rear of a modern gated development, it enjoys a position that feels removed from the pace of everyday life. Sheltered from Chester Road itself, the apartment offers a sense of calm and seclusion that often surprises first-time visitors a genuine haven while still being moments from Boldmere, Wylde Green and excellent transport links into Birmingham.

Built in 2003, the development has been carefully maintained and is currently undergoing significant roof repairs. The owners have already contributed approximately £9,500 towards these works, which are in progress and explain the presence of scaffolding. Importantly, the new roof carries a forecast useful life of 25 years or more, offering long-term reassurance and removing one of the largest potential future costs an apartment owner might face.

Inside, the apartment is bright, well proportioned and ready to move straight into, with newly fitted carpets throughout. The open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen space works perfectly for modern living, whether that’s relaxed evenings at home or entertaining friends. The layout feels balanced and practical, with clearly defined zones that are easy to live in.

There are two really spacious bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while a separate bathroom serves bedroom two and guests a layout that works equally well for owner-occupiers, sharers or visiting friends and family.

From a practical and financial perspective, the fundamentals are strong. The lease has over 100 years remaining, offering long-term security for future owners, and the annual service charge is modest at approximately £1,750 per annum. The apartment has also performed very well as a buy-to-let investment, achieving a gross rental yield of just over 7.5%. Based on current market conditions and an estimated rental value of around £950 per month, similar returns may be achievable for a new investor.

Location remains one of the apartment’s strongest assets. Boldmere and Wylde Green provide two excellent high streets with cafés, bars, independent shops and everyday essentials, while Sutton Park offers miles of green open space. The nearby train station makes commuting into Birmingham straightforward, further strengthening both lifestyle appeal and rental demand.

Apartment 6 is a home that offers peace of mind on multiple levels from its quiet position within the development, to the major works already funded, to the long lease and proven rental performance. Whether purchased as a first home, a professional base or an investment, it represents a well-rounded and sensible opportunity.
