Secure, low-maintenance one-bedroom with communal lounge, garden and lift access.
One double bedroom; approx 388 sq ft (small)
A compact, purpose-built retirement apartment located on the first floor of Millers Court, constructed by McCarthy & Stone in the early 1990s. The flat offers a generous lounge-diner, double bedroom and bathroom, plus lift access to the communal entrance. Residents benefit from a house manager, emergency pull cords, communal lounge, well-kept gardens, guest room and a residents’ laundry.
The apartment is small (approximately 388 sq ft) and will suit someone downsizing who values security, convenience and sociable communal facilities rather than large private living spaces. The location is convenient for local shops, bus routes, Shirley station and nearby links to Solihull and the motorway network.
Practical considerations: the heating is by electric storage heaters and the kitchen and living spaces show a dated 1970s–1980s style that many buyers will want to modernise. The property is leasehold with about 102 years remaining; annual service charge is approximately £3,165 and ground rent £705.12, which are material ongoing costs to budget for.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-managed retirement apartment offering security and community amenities in a convenient Shirley location. It will appeal to buyers seeking low-maintenance living and sociable communal facilities, but those wanting larger or fully modernised accommodation should expect to carry out updates.
