Built and managed for over-60s living, this two-bedroom end-of-terrace home offers low-maintenance retirement living close to Walmley Village amenities. The compact layout (circa 606 sq ft) includes a ground-floor WC, a rear patio overlooking well-kept communal gardens, and two upstairs bedrooms — the master with a fitted wardrobe. Shared, unallocated parking sits close to the cul-de-sac entrance.
Practical running costs and arrangements are important here: the property is freehold but sits within an Anchor-managed scheme with a service charge (approx. £225.97 pcm) covering communal upkeep, on-site warden and buildings insurance. There is no ground rent, but a sinking fund contribution becomes payable on sale (0.75% of the purchase price multiplied by years and months owned). Buyers must be approved by Anchor Housing prior to purchase, as this is age-restricted to over-60s.
The house is presented in good order with sensible, traditional finishes and gas central heating to mains. Its very small plot and modest internal space suit downsizers or retirees seeking a quiet, community-focused setting rather than a large family home. Broadband and mobile signals are strong and the area is very affluent with low local crime.
Important practical notes: EPC is listed as TBC, and the service charge is a material cost to factor in. Parking is shared and unallocated, and the property’s compact footprint limits extension or major garden projects. Prospective buyers should confirm tenure and the scheme’s eligibility rules with their solicitor and Anchor before progressing.
