Set on the first floor of a secure over-60s development, this two-bedroom apartment delivers exceptional outlooks over Minster Pool and Lichfield Cathedral. The large lounge-diner and very generous master bedroom both maximise the view and natural light, while a contemporary bathroom and fitted kitchen keep the accommodation low-maintenance. Lift access, an on-site launderette and a spacious residents’ lounge with balcony add real convenience and communal options for socialising.
Practical details suit retirement living: built in 2008, double glazing, electric heating and a modest internal layout of about 643 sq ft. The apartment is offered chain-free with around 110 years remaining on the lease. Communal gardens and secure gated access provide outdoor space without upkeep demands, and the city-centre location puts shops, cafés and the Cathedral on the doorstep.
Important costs and points to note: the annual service charge is approximately £6,000 and ground rent £857.20, both higher than typical; heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating. The property sits in an area recorded with very high crime levels, which prospective buyers should factor into decisions about security and insurance.
This home will suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance, centrally placed retirement base with outstanding views and communal facilities. It also offers straightforward potential for cosmetic personalisation rather than structural renovation given its modern construction and good overall condition.
