Property Reference: 418145.

**** open viewing available at 10am this Saturday (9th February) - please contact landlord if you wish to attend the viewing this weekend...! ****

This very large penthouse apartment in Arcadia Mews (B66) occupies the entire top (second) floor of this modern block and is comfortably double the size of a typical two bedroom house Pleasantly situated in the corner of a quiet cul-de-sac with private car park, yet is only 2.5 miles (or a 10 minute drive) from Birmingham City Centre.

Please view the video tour of this property which can be found either at the end of the photograph slide show. If you have any problems locating the video, just search "Arcadia Mews Video Tour" via any internet search page. It is well worth viewing the video as this gives a much better impression of the property than the photographs.

Built just 8 years ago, this huge two double-bedroom, two bathroom penthouse offers all modern fixtures and fittings throughout including a trendy open-plan kitchen with built in cooking appliances. This room offers very spacious & adaptable living space measuring nearly 28 feet x 18 feet, incorporating separate lounge and dining/breakfast areas. So much larger & brighter than you will generally find elsewhere.

The entire block of eight apartments at Arcadia Mews is owned, managed & maintained by the same Landlord. When viewing a property at Arcadia Mews, the best reference you can get is by speaking to any of the other residents - ask them how happy they are living at Arcadia Mews and how satisfied they are with the service they receive from their Landlord! Many of the existing residents have been living at Arcadia Mews for several years, which is why these properties rarely become available (the Penthouse apartment has been fully let for the last 8 years and has not been vacant for a single day since the property was built!). It is not easy to find a property as large or as private as this anywhere in this area/post code - and not many are this modern, or purpose-built, which such great facilities, services with totally private & secure parking. The existing tenant is only moving due to a job re-location/promotion.

This property is quite literally double the size of your average two bedroom property and has the significant benefit of being a modern penthouse apartment occupying its own floor, giving a larger degree of privacy. This property also benefits from full UPVC double glazing & combi-boiler gas central heating/hot water

This is a property which really needs to be seen to be appreciated - if you compare this very large penthouse against any other rental properties in the local area, including other regular/smaller/older flats which are typically around half the size of this property, yet are still generally quoting within £50-70 of this very competitive rental rate, you would choose this property every time - it is so much larger (double the size of a typical property), brighter and in far better condition than most others!

Most other rental properties situated this close to Birmingham city centre are located on or close to busy main roads and have either no parking at all or on-street parking, which is always subject to finding an available space! The quiet location at Arcadia Mews and the large, private & enclosed car park is a major benefit when comparing this property to others. At least you know you can come home at the end of a busy day to the two things which really matter: Peace & quiet....And guaranteed private parking!

The master bedroom is huge (at least twice the size of a typical large master bedroom!) - measuring 21' x 14' and further benefits from a separate en-suite shower room and an additional separate recessed 7' x 6' dressing room/storage area.

The second bedroom is larger than most master bedrooms (16' x 11'7") and is adjacent to a very large & modern fitted bathroom, which measures 12'6" x 7', which is significantly larger than the average bathroom.

The property has been recently fully refurbished and redecorated including new light fittings etc, so it is in excellent condition throughout, as can clearly be seen from the photographs. All Gas Safety & EPC certificates are fully up-to-date. A new 12-month Gas Safety certificate will be issued in April 2019 when the current certificate expires.

The Penthouse offers a clean, freshly-decorated interior in light/neutral colours with recently-fitted light fittings, oak laminate flooring throughout, fully tiled bathroom/en-suite floors and modern kitchen & bathroom fittings. The property has the look & feel of a newly built property and is also very warm & energy efficient.

Situated very close to Birmingham City centre (10 minutes/2.5 miles away!) where rents are at least double the quoted rate for this property! Local rail & bus routes are all nearby/within walking distance. Bearwood high street is within walking distance.

This is a great place to live, and it is also very well managed & maintained, which is why these apartments do not become available very frequently. All of the communal hallways have been recently redecorated with new motion-sensor LED lighting & remote-unlocking electronic communal doors, operated by security entryphone handsets in each apartment. The grounds are maintained routinely to keep the whole place looking smart. The current tenant is only moving due to job re-location, and will happily confirm to any new tenants what a great place this is to live!

No additional fees will be charged to tenants for the tenancy agreement, inventory and all associated check-in procedures. Your deposit will be held securely/independently by the D.P.S (deposit protection service) - the only charge to new tenants is just £20 per applicant to openrent for referencing/credit checks - no other fees are payable!

To be eligible to rent this property, prospective tenants must be able to provide satisfactory references and pass a credit check. Ideally suited to a couple of working professionals, the rental rate equates to just £365 per month per person for a professional/working couple (or just over £84 per person per week), which is similar to what you might pay for a single room in a house share/home of multiple occupancy - this is obviously a much better option!
