Light-filled two-bedroom apartment on the second floor of Bridgewater Court, a purpose-built retirement development completed in 2003. The layout includes an entrance hall, lounge/dining room with large windows, a fitted kitchen and bathroom—practical accommodation for over-60s seeking a manageable home close to shops, healthcare and green space.
Residents benefit from a Development Manager, 24/7 emergency Appello call system, communal residents’ lounge and a guest suite, offering social and practical support. Lifts serve all floors and each flat has its own private front door, providing independence within a supported community environment.
There are ongoing costs to consider: a service charge of around £4,619 p.a. and an annual ground rent of £425. Heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas, and décor in living areas is dated and may need updating to suit modern tastes. The lease has about 102 years remaining, giving long-term security for owners.
Located close to Selly Oak Park, local shops, health centre and good bus links, the apartment suits buyers seeking low-external-maintenance living near amenities. Note that the wider area records higher crime levels; prospective purchasers should view and assess the neighbourhood personally.
