Summary - 77 ORPHANAGE ROAD, ERDINGTON, BIRMINGHAM B24 9HU
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Low-maintenance two-bedroom retirement apartment near Erdington High Street amenities.
First-floor retirement flat with lift and two intercom entrances
A compact two-bedroom first-floor retirement apartment in Orchard House, positioned for easy access to local shops and services. The block has lift access, two secure intercom entrances, communal laundry, residents’ lounge and off-street parking — practical features for over-60s living.
The flat benefits from double glazing, a side-window kitchen and a reported modern ELNUR electric heating system, with an emergency alert system in place. At about 560 sq ft the accommodation is small but arranged for straightforward, low-maintenance living near High Street amenities and frequent bus routes.
Important note for buyers: the lease has 66 years remaining, which will limit mortgage availability and may require a cash buyer or specialist lender. The service charge is £2,724 per year (reviewed annually) and the area scores high on local deprivation measures — both factors to weigh alongside the convenient location.
Buyers should verify the heating/fuel arrangements (records reference both electric heaters and mains-gas boiler), check service charge details and obtain lender confirmation on lease length before making an offer. For a buyer seeking a practical, low-upkeep retirement base close to Erdington facilities, this apartment offers straightforward convenience with clear points to investigate.
