This ground-floor retirement maisonette offers practical, low-maintenance living for over-60s in the heart of Sutton Coldfield. The living room opens to a private patio and modest rear garden, creating a pleasant outdoor spot without heavy upkeep. Allocated gated parking and close walking distance to town centre amenities make daily life straightforward.
Internally the apartment is compact but well laid out across approximately 520 sq ft, with two bedrooms, a fitted kitchen and a shower room. Double glazing and electric storage heaters are fitted; these provide basic comfort but can mean higher electricity costs compared with gas heating. The property is offered chain-free and comes with a very long lease (960 years).
Buyers should note the combined annual service charge of about £2,328 and that this is a leasehold retirement scheme restricted to over-60s. The local area indicators show fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, but also a higher crime score and local deprivation metrics — important to factor into security and lifestyle considerations.
Overall this is a sensible option for a downsizer or someone seeking a manageable, central retirement base with minimal garden care, secure parking and immediate access to shops and services. It suits buyers prioritising convenience and long lease security over large living space.
