Property Description

Property Reference: 504790.

A superb modern purpose-built unfurnished one bedroom ground floor apartment located in Smethwick, Birmingham B66. A viewing slot has been arranged for this Saturday (16th March) from 12.00 mid-day to 1.00pm - please send a message through if you would like to attend. If you would prefer to view sooner, please get in touch and I will see what I can arrange for you.

Please note that I shall be having the entire property professionally re-decorated from top to bottom in readiness for the next tenancy (even though it really doesn't need it!) just to give it that fresh & immaculate feel. So this trendy, modern apartment will be totally pristine for the next tenancy - just like a brand new home!

*** no added fees are payable by tenants apart from £20 for referencing and credit check which are all done by openrent - no agency fees - rent from the owner/landlord direct...! ***

Available for the first time in 6 years! Initially offered on 6 month renewable Assured Shorthold Tenancy - this is a long-term let so the initial term can be extended indefinitely if you are a good tenant. Please note that this property is being let unfurnished so all of the furniture you can see in the photos belongs to the existing tenant and is not included with this property. The whole property will be fully re-decorated from top to bottom in readiness for the new tenancy - so the whole property will be like brand new throughout. A slightly earlier check-in date may be possible by arrangement (beginning to April).

Please be sure to view the two full video tours of this property (at the end of the photographs/slide show) as this is the best way to get a really good feel for this superb apartment. I have uploaded two videos - one showing the block as a whole and another 'walk & talk' video to show you around the apartment itself. Please note that the photographs of the kitchen & bathroom are from one of the other apartments but the fittings & layout are near-identical - the kitchen in this particular apartment is actually larger with more units and a breakfast bar/larger main worktop area! You can see the actual kitchen & bathrooms in the video tour.

Built approximately 8 years ago, this purpose built apartment offers generous accommodation on the ground floor and is very securely located at the rear of the building through a private under-pass. This apartment has windows on all three sides and large French doors to the lounge area, giving a high degree of natural light throughout. The rear block only has two apartments (one ground floor and one first floor - this apartment is on the ground floor). Securely situated, this apartment offers a high degree of privacy and security and it is also very quiet. It is also rare to have such a large, private car park this close to a major city centre (Birmingham City Centre Broad Street is just 2.5 miles away).
Considered to be of a significantly higher standard than most other rented properties in the area, this spacious, warm & very comfortable apartment offers the following benefits:

  • Purpose built, modern block (built just 8 years ago) located in the corner of a quiet cul-de-sac
  • Fully UPVC double-glazed throughout and gas central heating (hot water on-demand - combination boilers)
  • Located to the rear of the property (in a block of just two apartments) giving a high degree of privacy & security
  • Private, secure & fully enclosed car park, providing plenty of parking for each resident
  • Security entry-phone system with remote unlocking for main door from internal telephone handsets
  • Motion-sensor LED lighting systems to both exterior & internal hallways (recently redecorated)
  • Open-plan, modern kitchen with integral oven, hob & extractor
  • Modern white bathroom suite with shower/shower screen
  • All floors are oak laminate throughout with fully tiled bathroom floors
  • Bedroom size is above-average - very well proportioned double bedroom with large recess/storage area
  • All rooms are bright, warm & spacious French doors & side windows to the Lounge, giving plenty of natural light.
  • Open outlook (with trees!) to both front and rear - unusual for a property so close to a City centre.
  • A peaceful & quiet place to live, away from main roads - easy access, private parking, long-established neighbours
With windows to all three sides, this property is very bright and benefits from full combination-boiler gas central heating & limitless hot water on demand in addition to full upc double glazing.

The property has a modern fitted kitchen with built in cooking appliances. The bathroom comprises a modern white suite with a decent quality shower with glass shower screen.

Properties very rarely become available at Arcadia Mews - the entire block is owned & managed by the same Landlord, who takes a lot of pride in the ownership, maintenance & management of the block. Consequently most of the existing tenants are very happy & well-settled, so this is a great place to live! The existing tenant has lived in this apartment for over 6 years and is only moving due to needing a larger property for an expanding family! The existing tenant will tell you how good this property is if you arrange a viewing (she is happy to accommodate all viewings, by prior arrangement)

Unlike converted houses or flats above shops/commercial premises (most of which are quoting similar rents!), these apartments are purpose-built and the room sizes and layout of the accommodation on offer is therefore so much better (and more modern) than most other properties in the local area. 90% of alternative properties are located on or very close to main roads, which are noisy and with only very limited on-street parking, which is often very congested.

The best reference you can get for a property at Arcadia Mews is simply by speaking to any of the existing residents/tenants - ask them how happy they are living at Arcadia Mews and how happy they are with the rapid & excellent service they receive from their Landlord!

With extremely low running costs (Council Tax band 'A') and the best excellent efficiency ratings (Energy Performance Certificate 'B' rated) these properties cost very little to run and offer excellent levels of security when unoccupied.
There is a large/spacious forecourt to the front of the property which is secure/located in the corner of the cul-de-sac. 2 x large commercial bins are provided which offer at least double the needed capacity needed by the eight apartments. Large recycling bins are also provided - one for each apartment.

To be eligible to rent this property, prospective tenants must be able to provide satisfactory references (employer & previous Landlord) and pass a credit check fully (or provide a suitable guarantor). Ideally suited to a couple of working professionals, the rental rate equates to just £295 per month per person (or just £68 per person per week), which is less than what you might pay for a single room n a house share/home of multiple occupancy - this is obviously a much better option! A deposit equivalent to 6 weeks rent will be held securely by the dps (Deposit Protection Service) for the duration of the tenancy. If your circumstances are different to these general requirements, and you could provide a suitable guarantor, please feel free to get in touch.

Due to the quality of accommodation being offered, and giving consideration to all other current residents, who are all long-established & well-settled tenants, please note that only working/professional tenants can only be accepted No pets, students or DSS/social housing claimants. Smoking is prohibited inside the building or in any of the apartments.

No additional fees are charged to tenants for taking up A tenancy at arcadia mews other than £20 per applicant (payable to openrent) for credit checks, employer & previous landlord references - these are the only charges which apply and they are very reasonable. The openrent 'rent now' service provides all references and the tenancy agreement. Openrent also hold the initial deposit & rent payment until you have moved in and are happy with your accommodation.

Available from Monday 8th April 2019 or possibly sooner by arrangement with the existing tenant This property is available for a long-term let but will be initially let on a 6 month Assured Shorthold Tenancy (ast) with an option for a longer renewal if all goes well.
