Well-situated second-floor retirement apartment on Harborne High Street, offering easy access to shops, transport and local amenities. The building provides communal facilities including a residents' lounge, communal garden, parking area, lift and on-site warden/care-call system—suitable for buyers seeking convenience and support.
Inside, the layout is traditional and practical: a generous hallway with storage, a spacious living room with a fireplace, separate kitchen, two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a refitted shower room. The flat is compact at approximately 492 sq ft but arranged for comfortable, low-maintenance living.
Important practical points: the home uses electric storage heating and runs on individual electricity supply (no communal gas). The property is leasehold with about 90 years remaining and a relatively high annual service charge (c. £4,896.48), which covers building maintenance and communal services. Prospective buyers should factor service charges and lease length into affordability calculations.
This is a good choice for downsizers or retirees prioritising location, security and communal support rather than private garden space or long-term capital growth. It will suit someone wanting a ready-made, managed retirement setting close to Harborne’s amenities; buyers planning significant refurbishment should note the building’s managed responsibilities and service charge implications.
