Fountain Court, Steelhouse Lane, Birmingham

BRAND NEW ONE-BEDROOM APARTMENT | FOUNTAIN COURT | COLMORE BUSINESS DISTRICT | WALK TO SNOW HILL & NEW STREET | UNFURNISHED | AVAILABLE NOW

A beautifully finished, generously proportioned one-bedroom apartment within Fountain Court, an impressive conversion of Birmingham's former barristers' chambers on Steelhouse Lane.

Situated on the first floor and offered unfurnished, the apartment combines the character of a landmark city building with a completely contemporary interior. Its location is a major attraction: Colmore Row, Birmingham Snow Hill, the city's professional district and Birmingham Children's Hospital are all close at hand, while New Street, Grand Central, the Bullring and the wider city centre are easily reached on foot.

For anyone wanting a modern home where commuting, dining out and everyday city life can largely be done without the car, this is a particularly well-positioned apartment.

The Apartment:

The standout feature is the generous open-plan living and dining room. Unlike many compact one-bedroom city apartments, there is plenty of flexibility to create distinct areas for a sofa and television, a proper dining table and even a work-from-home set-up.

Large windows bring natural light into the room, while the herringbone-style flooring and neutral décor give the space a smart, contemporary finish. Because the property is offered unfurnished, the layout can be arranged around your own furniture and lifestyle rather than somebody else's.

The fitted kitchen sits neatly alongside the living space and has been designed with both appearance and practicality in mind. Sleek cabinetry provides good storage, complemented by generous work surfaces and integrated appliances for a clean, streamlined finish.

The bedroom is a well-proportioned double with neutral carpeting and enough space to accommodate additional wardrobes, drawers or a desk depending on how you want to use the room.

Completing the apartment is a modern shower room finished with large-format stone-effect tiling, a glass shower enclosure, contemporary sanitaryware, vanity storage and a chrome heated towel rail.

Fountain Court - The Development:

Fountain Court is one of Birmingham city centre's more distinctive recent residential conversions.

Formerly home to barristers' chambers, the building has been carefully transformed into a limited collection of contemporary apartments arranged around a central courtyard. Its history and architecture give the development a different character from the conventional glass-and-steel apartment blocks found elsewhere in the city.

The building sits within the historic Steelhouse Lane Conservation Area, close to Birmingham's legal and commercial quarter, with secure residential access and well-maintained communal areas.

It is an excellent fit for someone who wants the convenience and finish of a new city-centre apartment while preferring a development with a little more identity and heritage.

Location & Transport:

For a city-centre tenant, the location is one of Fountain Court's strongest selling points.

Birmingham Snow Hill Station and Colmore Row are just a short walk away, making the apartment particularly convenient for professionals working across Birmingham's principal business and financial district.

Birmingham New Street Station and Grand Central are also within walking distance, providing extensive regional and national rail connections alongside immediate access to the city centre's main retail district.

The West Midlands Metro can be accessed nearby around Bull Street and Snow Hill, giving another straightforward option for travelling across Birmingham and towards the Jewellery Quarter and wider West Midlands.

For medical professionals, Birmingham Children's Hospital is situated on Steelhouse Lane itself, making Fountain Court an exceptionally convenient location for those working at the hospital or within the surrounding healthcare sector.

Life Around Fountain Court:

Step outside and much of central Birmingham is accessible on foot.

Colmore Row and the surrounding streets provide an excellent choice of restaurants, coffee shops, bars and after-work venues, while St Philip's Cathedral and Cathedral Square sit at the heart of this part of the city.

Continue south and you quickly reach Grand Central, New Street and the Bullring, giving you everything from supermarkets and everyday shopping to major retailers and restaurants.

The Jewellery Quarter is also readily accessible in the opposite direction, adding independent cafés, restaurants, bars and some of Birmingham's best-known nightlife to the options close to home.

For anyone working in the Colmore Business District, the legal quarter, Birmingham Children's Hospital or elsewhere across the city centre, the ability to leave the apartment and walk to work is a genuine everyday advantage.
