This well-presented two-bedroom bungalow sits within a quiet, sought-after over-55s development just a short walk from Lichfield city centre. The freehold, single-storey layout and modest private garden make it an easy-to-manage home for downsizers seeking convenience and community.
Recent upgrades (2022) include new electric heaters, a new consumer unit, loft insulation and refreshed guttering, improving energy performance and reducing immediate maintenance needs. The property benefits from double glazing, a modern fitted shower room and a Sanctuary pull-cord alarm linked to a 24/7 tele-care service for added peace of mind.
Practical points to note: heating is all-electric via room heaters, and the property is small at approximately 506 sq ft — suitable for single occupants or a couple but limited for larger households. A service charge of £170.56 pcm (approx. £2,046.72 annually) covers buildings insurance and communal grounds upkeep; windows and doors are excluded from external maintenance cover.
Overall this bungalow offers low-maintenance, single-floor living in an affluent, low-crime area with excellent mobile and broadband connectivity. It will suit buyers prioritising proximity to city amenities and secure retirement living, though budget-conscious buyers should factor in electric heating costs and the regular service charge.
