This light, well-presented two-bedroom terraced house in The Chestnuts has been updated for low-maintenance, comfortable living. Suited to over‑55s seeking independence with reassurance, the home features freshly redecorated interiors, new energy-saving Dimplex wall heaters and UPVC windows that reduce upkeep and running costs. The lounge opens via doors onto a patio and well-kept communal gardens that encourage socialising or quiet relaxation.
The layout is straightforward and practical: ground-floor cloakroom/WC, living room with garden access, fitted kitchen to the front, and two double bedrooms with a bathroom and storage cupboard upstairs. On-site communal amenities include a laundry room and a residents’ lodge that hosts social activities, and 24/7 emergency support provides an added layer of security. The property is offered with no forward chain for a quicker move.
Important practical notes: the home is leasehold with approximately 62 years remaining. This level of lease term may restrict mortgage options and some lenders could refuse to lend; buyers should obtain specialist advice and mortgage confirmation before committing. Parking is on-street on a first-come, first-served basis rather than allocated.
Overall this property suits buyers looking to downsize into a low-maintenance, community-focused setting close to Locks Heath centre. It delivers immediate move-in condition and communal support, but the limited lease length and leasehold status are material considerations for financing and future resale.
