A bright second-floor retirement apartment in the heart of Moseley, offered with no upward chain and ready for immediate occupation. The one-bedroom flat sits in a well-managed McCarthy Stone development and benefits from communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, laundry, communal gardens and a guest suite. The layout gives a sense of space with an open living/dining area, separate kitchen and good built-in storage. Double glazing and an Energy Performance Rating C help with comfort.
This home is designed for independent retired living: a house manager, 24-hour Appello emergency call system and lift access provide extra reassurance. The property is close to local shops, cafés, medical services and frequent bus routes into the city, making errands and social life straightforward. A private bedroom overlooks the communal garden and the flat totals around 560 sq ft — comfortable for a single occupant or a couple.
Important cost and condition notes: the property runs on electric storage heaters and uses electricity as the main fuel, which can raise running costs. Service charges are substantial (around £3,852pa) and annual ground rent is approximately £566.08. The lease has about 97 years remaining. The local area scores as very deprived with above-average crime statistics, which prospective buyers should factor into location suitability and insurance costs.
Overall this apartment suits a retiree seeking a low-maintenance base in a popular Moseley address with on-site support and communal amenities. It offers ready-to-live-in accommodation but also carries notable ongoing fees and electric heating considerations that affect long-term running costs.
