Bright, compact and centrally located, this two-bedroom retirement apartment at Lingfield Court is aimed at over-60s seeking a low-maintenance base on Harborne High Street. The second-floor position (lift access available) sits close to shops, cafes, and regular bus routes, making everyday errands and social life straightforward. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, kitchen, garden and a private parking area, with a warden and care-call system for peace of mind.
The accommodation is practical and efficient: a living room with interconnecting arch to the kitchen, two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, and a shower room with an airing cupboard. The build dates from the 1980s and the flat uses electric storage heating — suitable for buyers who prefer simplicity but important to note for running costs. There is no flooding risk and broadband and mobile signal are strong.
Buyers should consider the material points plainly: the property is leasehold with about 90 years remaining and a relatively high service charge (approximately £408.04 pcm / £4,896.48 pa) which covers communal maintenance and building services. Internal maintenance of the flat is the leaseholder’s responsibility while the landlord (Anchor) retains responsibility for the main structure and certain installations. Crime levels in the area are higher than average, which may influence some buyers.
Overall this is a sensible option for downsizers or those looking for a well-located retirement apartment with on-site support and communal life. It suits buyers who prioritise location, convenience and community over large private outdoor space or long lease length.
