Arkade Property is pleased to present this characterful and quirky top floor, one bedroom apartment set in a converted, Grade II listed building close to the centre of the Jewellery Quarter and within walking distance of the City centre. The property can be accessed via the listed staircase and benefits from a secure, allocated parking space, no less than two terraces facing the front and the rear, a large bedroom, a pleasing living area, a fully fitted kitchen and a bathroom. In addition, there is double glazing throughout and the property is heated by electric wall heaters. In all, this apartment boasts approximately 58 square metres (625 square feet) of living space and is as large as many two bedroom apartments.
This is a fabulously located apartment, situated in the Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham's most desirable district. The magnificent frontage of the complex is listed and is fully in keeping with the locale which is now benefiting from substantial regeneration and extensive restoration while preserving the unique ambience of the area. The Jewellery Quarter has an interesting mix of shops and residential schemes and many of the buildings have been listed because of their historic significance. The apartment is a very short walk to St. Pauls Square, a lovely, green, Georgian square with bars, restaurants and the popular live music club, the Jam House. Broad Street and Brindley Place are also within walking distance and there one can find a number of bars, high quality restaurants and theatres, the Sea Life Centre, the National Indoor Arena, the magnificent new library, the International Convention Centre and Symphony Hall, the home of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. The apartment offers easy access to the main commercial and shopping areas, the M6, Snow Hill Station, the Metro link and Grand Central Station and regular trains from here operate to London and Birmingham International for the NEC and Birmingham International Airport.
