Well-located one-bedroom retirement flat with terrace and communal facilities.
First-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment with care-call system
A well-located first-floor retirement apartment in the heart of Harborne High Street, designed for over-60s seeking convenience and community. The flat offers a bright L-shaped living/dining room with direct access to a south-facing paved terrace, one double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a compact fitted kitchen. Communal amenities include a residents’ lounge, communal garden, off-street parking, a warden service and lift access.
Practical features suit low-maintenance living: a care-call system, double glazing (installed pre-2002) and main services managed by the landlord body. The flat is electrically heated (room heaters) so there’s no mains gas; this may mean higher running costs in colder months. The property is leasehold with approximately 91 years remaining and an average service charge of £3,852 per year (£321 pcm) — budget accordingly.
This apartment will appeal to downsizers or retirees who prioritise shop-front convenience, easy access to medical services and a supportive communal environment. It is in a busy urban area with excellent mobile and broadband connectivity, but note that local crime levels are reported as high. Internal inspection is recommended to assess space, heating comfort and any individual maintenance requirements.
