Talking of properties with the railway on the doorstep, this canalside apartment, on Newhall Street, is just a short stroll from both Snow Hill and New Street stations. It’s a quick train ride down to London, but then when you are at the heart of Birmingham’s retail and leisure districts, who needs the capital?
The luxury apartment boasts three double bedrooms (two en-suite) and a 30ft balcony with canal views. With modern finishing and a large living area, this spacious apartment exceeds expectations and sits in a league of its own.
On-street parking is available for those times when the train just won’t do and when it comes down to it, the motorways aren’t all that far away.
