Compact, low-maintenance home near shops and transport for downsizers.
Newly refurbished two-bedroom retirement apartment, first floor with lift access
A newly refurbished two-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor of Sorrento Court, positioned a short walk from Moseley Village. The development includes a House Manager, 24-hour emergency call system, lift access and well-kept communal gardens — practical features for independent older residents seeking convenience and on-site support. The apartment’s living/dining room and two double bedrooms suit comfortable day-to-day living within a compact 495 sq ft layout.
This leasehold flat offers clear benefits for downsizers: recent refurbishment reduces immediate maintenance needs, and communal facilities (resident lounge, laundry, guest room) extend living space without the upkeep of a private garden. Transport links and local shops, cafés and medical services are all nearby, making daily errands straightforward.
Buyers should note material running costs and some building-age details. The service charge is approximately £6,210 per year and ground rent around £660 per year; prospective purchasers should confirm what these cover. The 95-year lease remaining is adequate but should be reviewed with legal advice. The building dates from the 1950s–60s, has solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) and double glazing installed before 2002, which may affect long-term energy performance despite an EPC C rating.
The surrounding area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime statistics; check local data and visit at different times to assess suitability. Overall, this apartment suits a buyer seeking low-maintenance retirement living in central Moseley, who values on-site support and proximity to amenities, and who accepts higher service costs and some older-building limitations.
