I have to admit that when I was sent the link to check this one out, with a comment that it " Looks like nothing from the outside. Inside you could do your dirty dancing / flashdance all over the studio then off to your STUNNING apartment to shower off! ", I was instantly intrigued.

Rightly enough, it's ideal for the movie buff to re-enact some of those classic and well known magical movie scenes... and I personally threw in Ghost as well since that was another movie that came to mind when checking out the pictures! But all joking aside, this is quite a remarkable mixed use property, and incredibly rare to see a property like this one.

It's a real diamond in the rough... an ugly duckling when you first glance at the exterior, and it's not until you step through the door to look inside that you discover that actually it's a beautiful swan! From a creative point of view, this place to me is the ideal place to inspire. It's unassuming exterior is transformed as you cross the threshold, just as a dancer will transform into character as they step into the studio and onto the dance floor. I completely adore this one. It's so unexpected and the rough exterior really is part of its charm.

This Birmingham property is also such good value when you consider all it has to offer: two studios, a reception area, an office, and even a two bedroom flat thrown into the lot! It's a fab investment property for someone solely seeing it as income potential of course, letting the property or running as a business. But in particular this one is ideal suited to the creative owner occupier who would seek to be living on site and work in the studios, possibly a dancer who runs classes and/or is perhaps part of their own troupe seeking a base of operations in which to work, train, and prepare for performances... perhaps a photographer looking to have a live-in operation as well. There's many creative careers that would be well suited to working in this type of environment.

The possibilities are endless really, as it's such a large and flexible amount of studio space. Also, those bare brick walls, with almost floor to ceiling windows, dark floors, and the industrial style of metal roof in one of the images? WOW! It's a stunning environment in which to live and work.

Plus you do get a lot for your money, especially given that looking round the UKAL team there are some who live in areas where for the price you might get a decent enough little 2/3 bed house but little more, and others in areas where that kind of money would barely even get you a one bedroom flat! So much property on offer, with such stunning internal presentation, and so much creative and business potential too.

This one is more than just a property... it's offering the entire dream itself, and all in one neat perfect little package that's lying in wait for a creative owner that will live and breathe their art within these walls!  Check it out for yourself and let your creative juices run wild!
