Hillcrest Avenue, Birmingham, B43 6LX

Top of the hill, top of the home.

Hillcrest Avenue isn’t just a name, it’s a little pocket of calm in a well-connected part of Great Barr. And number 33 isn’t just another maisonette. Sitting at the top of the building, this home gives you that bit of elevation we all crave: light, privacy, peace, and a sense that you’re in your own world without being miles from everything.

Step inside and breathe out.

A private entrance with its own porch is your first welcome. No communal hallways here.

The lounge and dining space stretch across the front of the property—open-plan but with a natural divide that makes it easy to zone the space how you want. There’s a comfy sofa and a telly night corner at one end, and a dining table spot that catches the light at the other. It’s homely but fresh—ready to move into, but with just enough blank canvas if you’re itching to add your own stamp.

A proper kitchen.

So many apartments skimp on kitchen space but not this one. There’s a full run of units, room to cook properly (not just microwave), and a window that opens out over the front. You can make a Sunday roast in here just as easily as a morning coffee and a slice of toast before work. The layout works. Simple, stylish, and practical.

Two proper bedrooms.

Bedroom one is the kind of size you rarely find in flats. A big double, with space for wardrobes and drawers, and still room to breathe. Bedroom two isn’t just a token box-room it’s a versatile second space that could be a guest room, an office, a nursery, or even a dressing room if you’re feeling fancy. And both are finished in soft, neutral tones so they’ll go with anything.

And then there’s the garden.

Yes, your own private garden. Not shared, not overlooked, and not just a patch of grass for show. A real space where you can enjoy summer afternoons, grow tomatoes if you fancy it, or have a fire pit night with friends. For a top-floor maisonette, this is a standout feature and one you’ll come to treasure.

The lifestyle.

Whether you’re commuting, investing, or just want somewhere to call home, the location works. Local shops, handy bus routes, parks nearby, and easy access to the M6 if you need to get anywhere fast. But you’re also tucked away enough here to switch off from the noise when you need to.
