This ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment at Sorrento Court offers practical, low-maintenance living with direct access to a private patio and well-kept communal gardens. Built by McCarthy & Stone in 1996, the development provides a supportive community feel with a Development Manager, 24/7 emergency call system, residents’ lounge, communal laundry and a guest suite for visitors.
The apartment suits downsizers or those seeking a secure, social environment close to Moseley village amenities. The layout is traditional and comfortable, with double glazing, gas central heating and direct outdoor access that brings light and a small outdoor sitting area at ground level.
Buyers should note the material costs of ownership: a service charge of £4,139.98 per year and a ground rent of £566.08. The lease has around 95–96 years remaining. The area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime levels, so buyers prioritising a quieter or lower-crime location may want to view carefully and check local safety measures.
Practical positives include off-street parking availability, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. There is evident potential for cosmetic updating to personalise the apartment, but structural insulation in external walls is assumed absent and any purchaser should factor energy and maintenance considerations into their budget.
