This second-floor one-bedroom apartment at Briar Croft offers practical, low-maintenance living designed for over-55s. The open-plan lounge/diner leads to a modern fitted kitchen, and the bedroom includes built-in wardrobes — all presented in a well-kept, purpose-built development close to Stratford-upon-Avon town centre.
Briar Croft provides extensive onsite amenities: restaurant, laundry, social activities, and a dedicated care team. The location is convenient for local healthcare, the train station and frequent bus links, making it suitable for residents who value accessibility and communal support.
Sold as a 75% shared ownership with Orbit Housing and 111 years remaining on the lease, the property is chain free and ready for immediate occupation. Note the above-average annual service charge of approximately £6,362.76, which covers water, heating via the community scheme, and activities — factor this into ongoing costs.
Practical buyers will appreciate the modern construction, double glazing and communal landscaping; however, the development sits in an area with very high recorded crime levels, so prospective purchasers should review local security arrangements and any resident safeguards before committing. This apartment suits downsizers seeking social amenities and central convenience rather than those wanting total independence or low monthly charges.
