A well-specified second-floor retirement apartment in the established Wood End Farm development, designed for over-55s who want low-maintenance living close to local amenities. The open lounge/dining room and luxury fitted kitchen create a comfortable, practical living space, while two good-sized bedrooms and a Jack & Jill shower room suit single occupants or couples. Communal facilities — including a residents' lounge, guest suite and house manager — add convenience and social options on-site.
Comfort is a genuine selling point: gas-fired underfloor heating, double glazing and a secure “Tunstall” alarm system are all fitted. The building has lift access and allocated off-street parking, making day-to-day life easier. The property sits in a very affluent, low-crime area with good road links to the M6 and wider West Midlands, and easy access to local shops, leisure and healthcare services.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement flat. The lease has about 108 years remaining, with an annual service charge around £2,336 and ground rent of £250 per year — factors that affect running costs and resale. Broadband and mobile signal are average, and the property is aimed specifically at over-55s, which may limit some buyers.
An internal inspection is recommended to fully appreciate the layout and finishes. For a downsizer seeking a secure, well-appointed retirement setting with communal support and low maintenance, this apartment offers a strong proposition.
