Lift-access retirement flat with communal garden views and parking close to shops.
Second-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment, no onward chain
This one-bedroom retirement apartment occupies the second floor of a modern development within Bromsgrove town centre, offered with no onward chain. The layout includes an entrance hall with storage, a comfortably sized lounge with bay window, a kitchen with space for appliances, a double bedroom and a shower room. Residents benefit from lift access, warden support, emergency pull cords and attractive communal gardens backing onto Spadesbourne Brook.
Practical positives include off-road parking, double glazing and fast broadband. The building was constructed in the early 1990s and presents a well-maintained communal setting suited to downsizers seeking convenience and low-activity grounds. Council tax is very low, and the town-centre location places shops, services and public transport within easy reach.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the lease has about 62 years remaining which may restrict mortgage availability or require a lender with specialist lease-term acceptance. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity (no communal supply). The property sits in an area with higher crime statistics and a medium flooding risk; purchasers should satisfy themselves on insurance and local safety measures.
Overall this apartment offers secure, low-maintenance living and clear potential for someone seeking a town-centre retirement base. It is best suited to a cash buyer or a purchaser already aware of lease-length implications and comfortable with electric heating and the surrounding area conditions.
