This well-presented one-bedroom first-floor apartment in Bilberry Place is designed for comfortable retirement living. The living room opens onto a walk-out balcony, offering a pleasant outlook and space for light outdoor seating. The double bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and the shower room is purpose-built with non-slip flooring and an emergency pull-cord for reassurance.
Part of McCarthy Stone’s Retirement Living PLUS scheme, the development provides 24-hour on-site staffing, an estates manager, emergency call systems and an on-site CQC-registered care team. Communal facilities include a homeowners’ lounge, landscaped gardens, a table-service restaurant, guest suite and function room — useful for socialising and occasional visitors.
Practical aspects are clear: underfloor electric heating, integrated kitchen appliances, long lease (999 years) and included fixtures and curtains. The service package includes one hour’s domestic assistance per week and a contingency fund for communal upkeep, but the annual service charge is substantial at £8,929.81 and ground rent is £435 per year.
This apartment suits someone seeking a low-maintenance, community-focused base in central Bromsgrove with good local amenities and transport links. Buyers should factor in the high service charge, electric heating running costs, and the local higher crime statistic when assessing overall affordability and lifestyle fit.
