Summary - ORCHARD HOUSE, 83 FLAT 3 ORPHANAGE ROAD BIRMINGHAM B24 9HU
1 bed 1 bath Flat
One-bedroom, low-maintenance home close to shops and transport for downsizers.
Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment with easy access to local shops and station
A ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in a purpose-built over-60s development, positioned for easy access to local shops, buses and Erdington station (approx 0.3 miles). The layout is traditional and straightforward: lounge, fitted kitchen, bedroom, shower room and hallway with storage. Communal features include a residents’ lounge, laundry, well-kept gardens and off-street parking.
Practical features suit a low-maintenance move: double glazing, electric storage heating and a secure entrance with intercom. The flat is average sized at about 453 sq ft and sits in a residential area with good mobile signal but slower broadband speeds. Council Tax is low and there is a peppercorn ground rent.
Important considerations: the lease has 67 years remaining, which may make mortgage lenders reluctant or refuse to lend; buyers should check finance options and legal advice before offering. The annual service charge is significant (around £2,905.56) and covers communal services including laundry and garden upkeep. Heating is electric storage units and walls are assumed to lack insulation, so energy costs could be higher than modern systems.
The flat offers straightforward retirement living close to amenities and transport, but it is best suited to cash buyers or purchasers who have confirmed lending with their mortgage provider. Verify all measurements, services and lease details with your solicitor and surveyor at an early stage.
