This two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow is offered as a 50% shared ownership retirement home (age 55+) with GreenSquare Accord, set quietly at the end of a cul-de-sac in Walsall Wood. The single-storey layout, gas central heating and PVCu double glazing make it a low-maintenance option for those seeking easy living; a generous lounge/dining room, fitted kitchen and private rear garden provide comfortable daily space. Off-street parking via a recessed car port and additional communal grounds add convenience and outside amenity.
Important buying considerations are clear: the property is leasehold with approximately 72 years remaining on the 99-year lease, and this shorter lease term may make mortgage approval difficult for many lenders. The home is available as a 50% shared ownership; the current rent and service charge are quoted at about £304.44pcm for the 50% share, with an average annual service charge of £3,653.28. Prospective buyers should obtain independent legal and mortgage advice before committing.
Suitable for downsizers or retirees who prioritise single-level living and proximity to local amenities, this bungalow is practical rather than show-home perfect. There is scope for modest cosmetic updating in places, which presents an opportunity to personalise the interior. An internal viewing will best reveal the layout, light and suitability for mobility or care needs.
