Summary - Apartment 4 Bilberry Place, Recreation Road, BROMSGROVE B61 8DT
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Freshly redecorated with on-site care and social facilities.
Ground-floor one-bed with dual-aspect living room and garden patio
Quiet, ground-floor living with direct access to well-kept communal gardens, this one-bedroom apartment is part of Bilberry Place, a McCarthy & Stone Retirement Living PLUS development for over-70s. The apartment has been freshly redecorated with new carpets, benefits from electric underfloor heating and a dual-aspect living room with French doors onto a patio. The long lease (999 years from 2017) offers ownership security uncommon for retirement properties.
Bilberry Place provides substantial on-site support and social amenities, including 24-hour staffing and emergency call systems, an on-site CQC-registered care team, a table-service restaurant, homeowners’ lounge, guest suite and landscaped grounds. One hour of domestic assistance per week is included in the service charge, with extra care and domestic hours available by arrangement — useful for buyers who want flexibility between independent and assisted living.
Buyers should note the material costs and conditions: the annual service charge is high at £8,929.81 (year ending 30/06/26) and there is an annual ground rent of £435 with the first review in 2032. Parking is by permit (subject to availability) and typically costs around £250 per year. The development is in a town centre location with excellent mobile signal and average broadband; local crime levels are recorded as high, which may influence some purchasers.
This apartment suits someone seeking an active retirement in a purpose-built, low-rise development with on-site care options and social facilities. Viewing is recommended to appreciate garden access, the practical layout and the range of services that support everyday living, while weighing the ongoing service charge and communal living trade-offs.
