Summary - GRACEWELL COURT, 1520 APARTMENT 36 STRATFORD ROAD HALL GREEN BIRMINGHAM B28 9ET
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Secure, low-maintenance retirement living close to shops and regular buses.
Second-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment with Juliette balcony
A well-presented second-floor retirement apartment in a purpose-built development on Stratford Road, designed for independent over-60s living. The layout includes a hallway, one double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, lounge with Juliette balcony, separate fitted kitchen and shower room. Communal extras include a residents’ lounge, laundry, guest accommodation by booking, on-site manager and secure entry with emergency pull-cords for peace of mind.
The apartment suits a single occupant or couple seeking low-maintenance, convenient living close to local shops and regular bus routes to Shirley, Solihull and central Birmingham. Off-street parking and neat communal grounds add practical value, while double glazing and relatively modern construction (post-2007) help with energy efficiency.
Practical considerations are clear: heating is by electric storage heaters and the apartment runs on individual electric supply, which may mean higher running costs than mains gas. The lease has 108 years remaining; annualised costs include a service charge (approx. £3,765.16) and ground rent (£425) — these are material ongoing expenses and should be checked with solicitors.
This compact retirement flat offers immediate move-in potential and communal support without large garden or major maintenance responsibilities. It will particularly appeal to buyers who prioritise safety, community facilities and a central location, while accepting the trade-offs of electric heating and leasehold charges.
