Summary - Flat 7, Chestnut Court, 306 Chester Road B36 0LB
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Comfortable one-bed with lift access, communal facilities and easy local shops and buses.
Second-floor, rear-facing one-bedroom with communal garden outlook
This second-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment sits in a well-maintained McCarthy & Stone development close to Castle Bromwich amenities. The building offers clear practical benefits for older buyers: lift access to all floors, an on-site development manager with 24/7 emergency call system, residents' lounge, communal laundry and a guest suite for visitors.
The apartment is a comfortable, traditional layout with a medium-sized lounge featuring a fireplace and rear-facing outlook over landscaped communal gardens. The compact kitchen and bathroom suit single occupancy or a couple wanting a low-maintenance home. Transport links to Birmingham city centre, Solihull and the airport are convenient by bus or car.
Notable running costs and practical issues are stated plainly: a service charge of £2,653.24 and ground rent of £513.25; these are significant ongoing costs for a leasehold purchase. The lease has roughly 88 years remaining. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the interior shows dated decor, so buyers should allow for modernisation. The local area records higher crime levels, which may concern some purchasers despite the development’s supportive community features.
