Summary - Apartment 15, St. Francis Lodge, 24 Cornyx Lane B91 2TE
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Chain-free two-bed retirement flat with lodge manager, guest suite and scooter charging.
Two-bedroom first-floor retirement apartment, overlooks communal gardens
This two-bedroom first-floor retirement apartment in St Francis Lodge offers comfortable, low-maintenance living for those looking to downsize without sacrificing community. Situated overlooking well-kept communal gardens, the bright living room with electric feature fireplace flows to a fitted kitchen. The principal bedroom has built-in mirrored wardrobes; the second room can be a guest bedroom, dining room or hobby room.
Owners benefit from an on-site lodge manager (five days a week), a 24-hour Careline emergency system, regular social events in the owners’ lounge and an available Guest Suite for visitors. Practical conveniences include owners’ laundry, private car parking, dedicated mobility scooter storage and charging, and the right to use Guest Suites at other Churchill developments. The apartment is chain free and has around 111 years remaining on the lease.
Important practical points: heating is by electric room heaters (higher running costs than gas) and the property is leasehold. Annual service charge is £4,608.84 (covers Careline, building maintenance, communal utilities and manager) and ground rent is £941.72 per year (to be reviewed). These costs are higher than typical residential properties and are significant when budgeting.
Overall this is a well-appointed, social-focused retirement apartment suitable for a couple or single person seeking a secure, community environment close to Solihull town centre. The property will suit buyers prioritising safety, social facilities and ease of access over low running costs or full independence from communal management.
