This freshly renovated two-bedroom retirement apartment sits directly on Kings Norton Green, offering an easy, low-maintenance home for over-60s. The layout is traditional with a large lounge, modern kitchen and contemporary bathroom — all presented move-in ready and offered chain free.
Residents benefit from secure off-street parking, well-kept communal gardens and active communal areas within a purpose-built scheme. The long lease (116 years) and no flood risk make this a straightforward purchase for downsizers seeking convenience and community close to shops and transport.
Practical realities include electric storage heating and very slow broadband speeds; buyers should expect higher running costs for heating and limited internet performance. The building dates from the late 1970s–early 1980s with cavity walls likely uninsulated, which may affect energy efficiency despite the recent internal refurbishment.
A significant service charge applies (around £3,456 annually), and local crime levels are above average — factors to weigh alongside the property’s comfortable accommodation and proximity to local amenities and well-rated schools nearby. Overall this apartment suits someone wanting a ready-made retirement base with scope to personalise and manage running costs.
