Thorneycroft is part of a Retirement Living PLUS scheme with 24-hour on-site staffing, a CQC-registered care team available for additional personal care, and a range of communal facilities including a homeowners’ lounge, on-site bistro and a guest suite. Practical features designed for safety and convenience include emergency pendant call points, level-access shower room, illuminated switches and a resident estate manager.
The apartment is energy-efficient with electric underfloor heating and comes with an exceptionally long lease (999 years from 2017). It is pet friendly and benefits from allocated off-street parking (subject to availability) and lounge Wi‑Fi. The village location places daily shops, bakeries and bus links close by, with Wolverhampton city centre about 2.5 miles away.
Buyers should note the material running costs: a high annual service charge (£12,985.41 to 30/06/2026) which covers extensive on-site services and communal utilities, and a ground rent of £510 per year. Council tax is above average. Parking permits and guest-suite use may incur extra fees. This apartment suits someone seeking a well-supported, social retirement environment rather than a low-cost, independent ownership option.
