This well-presented one-bedroom apartment in Bilberry Place is part of McCarthy Stone’s Retirement Living PLUS for over-70s. The flat offers generous internal space (around 775 sq ft), a large living room with French doors onto a walk-out balcony, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a generous wet-room style shower. The long lease (999 years) and electric underfloor heating are practical ownership strengths.
The development provides on-site care and support: 24-hour staffing, an emergency call system, an Estates Manager, a CQC-registered YourLife care team and one hour’s domestic assistance included in the service charge. Communal amenities include a table-service restaurant, homeowners’ lounge, landscaped gardens, guest suite and function room — useful for socialising and visitors.
Buyers should note the material running costs: the annual service charge is high (£8,929.81) and ground rent is £435 pa, with a review scheduled. Parking is by permit and not guaranteed. Local statistics indicate higher-than-average crime for the area, though the development has secure camera entry and on-site staff. Purchasers must meet the age requirement of 70 years or over.
Located in central Bromsgrove, the building sits near shops, services and transport links — the M5/M42 and the train station are within easy reach. The apartment is energy-efficient and pet-friendly, making it suitable for those seeking supported retirement living with convenient access to town amenities.
