A spacious, ground-floor retirement apartment designed for over-70s, set within the well-maintained Thorneycroft development in Tettenhall. The living room opens through French doors to a double patio with a sunny aspect and woodland views, creating a relaxed, light-filled living space. Two double bedrooms include a master with a walk-in wardrobe, while a modern fitted kitchen offers integrated appliances for easy, low-maintenance living.
The development provides practical on-site support: 24-hour staffing, an emergency pull-cord system, an on-site bistro, homeowner lounge with WiFi and a guest suite for visitors. One hour of domestic assistance per week is included within the service charge, with additional care packages available from the CQC-registered team if required. Allocated off-street parking is available subject to space and permit fees.
Important cost considerations are clear: a high annual service charge (£12,985.41) covers staffing, communal utilities and maintenance, and an annual ground rent of £510 applies. Heating is electric underfloor — efficient but likely to increase running costs compared with gas systems. Council tax is above average. The lease is effectively long-term (999 years from 2017), offering security for owners.
This apartment will suit downsizers seeking a secure, community-focused setting with on-site support and low-maintenance living. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the patio, timber-lined communal grounds and the convenience of retirement-living services, while budgeting for the service charge and utility costs.
