A well-presented second-floor retirement apartment at Highbury Lodge, offered chain-free and designed for over-60s living. The two-bedroom flat includes an ensuite to the principal bedroom, a reception room with a private balcony overlooking maintained communal gardens, and lift access to all floors — practical features for downsizers seeking low-maintenance, secure accommodation in Kings Heath.
The development is modern (completed 2022) and offers useful communal amenities: residents’ lounge and coffee bar, guest suite, buggy store, EV charging, on-site lodge manager, and a 24-hour careline with emergency buttons. The property benefits from a long lease (999 years from Jan 2023) and free residents’ parking, giving tenure security and visitor convenience.
Be aware of ongoing costs and energy provision. The service charge is £3,626.50 per year (covers many communal services but is a significant annual outgoing). Heating is electric via storage/room heaters, which may result in higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The flat is leasehold and part of an over-60s scheme — at least one resident must be 60 or over, and pet permissions are subject to management approval.
Located off Kings Heath High Street, the location offers shops, cafés and frequent bus links into central Birmingham. The apartment’s modern finish, communal garden outlook and accessibility features make it well suited to a downsizer seeking a secure, low-upkeep home close to local amenities, but buyers should factor service charges and electric heating into affordability calculations.
