Located in the well-regarded Briar Croft over-55s community, this two-bedroom apartment offers secure, independent living with 24/7 on-site care. The home is sold as a 75% shared ownership interest, chain-free, and comes with a long lease of around 110 years. At about 549 sq ft it’s compact but arranged for comfortable living, with a lounge, Juliet balcony, fitted kitchen and a walk-in wet room.
The development is modern (built 2010) and maintained with communal gardens and off-street parking. Monthly costs include a service charge of £553.67, which is noted as below average for extra-care schemes, and community heating supplied via mains gas. The property is being sold via probate — buyers should expect potential delays while grant of probate is completed.
Practical positives include excellent mobile and fast broadband, easy walking distance to Stratford-upon-Avon town centre and local amenities, and nearby reputable schools for visitors and family stays. The apartment is sold with no onward chain and could suit a buyer seeking the security of extra-care facilities without the immediate need for major works.
Notable drawbacks: the development’s local area records a very high crime rate — worth factoring into security and insurance considerations. The property is a shared-ownership retirement leasehold, so additional fees (leasehold packs, service charges) and occupancy criteria apply. The overall size is small; anyone needing substantial storage or large living spaces should view with that in mind.
