1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Compact second-floor retirement flat close to shops, transport and communal facilities.
Second-floor one-bedroom retirement flat in prime Harborne High Street location
This second-floor, one-bedroom retirement flat in Lingfield Court offers low-maintenance living on Harborne High Street, ideal for over-55s seeking convenience and community. The purpose-built block from 1991 provides lift access, an on-site warden, communal lounge, enclosed gardens and residents’ off-road parking — practical features for comfortable, independent living close to shops and transport.
The apartment is a compact, traditionally laid-out home with a living room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a shower bathroom. Modern double glazing and an EPC rating of C are positives; fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit those who stay connected or work from home occasionally.
Buyers should be aware of material drawbacks: the lease has approximately 73 years remaining, which may make mortgage approval difficult or impossible with some lenders. The property is leasehold with a service charge of about £2,460 per year. Heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be more costly than central heating alternatives. Local crime levels are reported as high, so security and personal safety are important considerations.
Overall, this is a straightforward, well-located retirement flat that suits downsizers wanting a central Harborne address, easy access to local amenities and communal support. It is most suitable for cash buyers or those who can secure lending despite the shorter lease; an early legal review of lease and lending options is recommended.
