Description

Located on the top floor of the highly regarded Royal Arch Apartments, directly above The Mailbox, this exceptional penthouse apartment offers approximately 1,300 square feet (around 121 square metres) of meticulously renovated accommodation. The apartment enjoys an outstanding elevated outlook across Birmingham and towards Edgbaston, combining generous proportions with refined contemporary design. Following a detailed professional renovation, the property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey penthouse residence in one of the city's most prestigious lifestyle destinations.

THE DEVELOPMENT AND LOCATION
Royal Arch Apartments form part of the iconic Mailbox development, widely regarded as one of Birmingham's premier residential and leisure addresses. Residents benefit from direct internal access to an extensive range of boutique retail, restaurants, cafés, bars and everyday conveniences, all located within the building itself. The canalside setting provides an attractive waterside environment while remaining firmly at the heart of the city.

The location is exceptionally well connected, with Birmingham New Street Station approximately five minutes away on foot, Grand Central and the Bullring reachable in around ten minutes, and Brindleyplace and the wider canal network just moments from the doorstep. This central position makes the apartment ideally suited to both owner-occupiers and those seeking a high-quality city base.

COMMUNAL AREAS
The building is professionally managed and offers secure, well-maintained communal areas with lift access to all floors, including the penthouse level. The overall presentation reflects the prestige of the Mailbox development, providing a discreet and secure residential environment within a vibrant city setting.

APARTMENT INTERNAL ACCOMMODATION
The apartment is accessed via a welcoming entrance hallway that immediately highlights the exceptional level of storage on offer, including extensive mirrored cabinetry that significantly exceeds what is typically found in city-centre apartments.

The living room is a spacious and impressive principal reception space, featuring floor-to-ceiling glazing that maximises natural light and showcases the far-reaching city views. A real gas fireplace provides a striking architectural focal point, complemented by integrated media including a UHD 4K OLED television and Philips Hue smart lighting, allowing the ambience to be adjusted throughout the day and evening.

A particularly notable feature of the apartment is the separate dining room, enclosed with elegant sliding glass doors. This space offers a dedicated area for entertaining and formal dining, a rarity in modern city apartments, while maintaining a strong visual connection to the kitchen and living areas.

The kitchen has been finished to a high specification and incorporates a range of premium integrated appliances, including Miele, Bosch, Samsung, Ninja and Thermomix. Contemporary cabinetry, quality work surfaces and thoughtful design combine to create a highly functional yet visually refined space.

The principal bedroom suite provides a calm and private retreat, benefiting from a walk-in wardrobe and a luxury en-suite bathroom with a soaking bathtub. The second bedroom is also generously proportioned and includes built-in wardrobes, making it ideal for guests, family use or a home office.

In addition to the en-suite, the apartment features a well-appointed guest bathroom with a modern walk-in shower, finished to the same high standard as the rest of the property.
