A spacious first-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment set within a well-maintained Tudor-style development, offered chain free. The interior is deceptively large (c.1852 sq ft overall) with a generous lounge, fitted kitchen and two well-proportioned bedrooms — the master benefits from fitted wardrobes. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, laundry, pleasant gardens and on-site resident parking.
Designed for convenience and social living, the development sits directly adjacent to local shops, bus routes and amenities on Walmley Road. Safety and independence are supported by an emergency pull-cord system and a secure intercom/door-release entry. Double glazing (installed post-2002) and loft storage with boarding add practical value for downsizers.
Important lease and cost information: the property is leasehold with 64 years remaining, a service charge averaging £2,496 per year and a £200 ground rent. The limited lease length is a material issue — many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend on this property, which could restrict buyer options to cash purchasers or buyers arranging specialist finance.
Overall this apartment will suit over-60s seeking a ready-to-live-in, sociable retirement setting close to shops and transport. Buyers must weigh the attractive communal amenities and generous space against the lease length and ongoing service charges before viewing.
