Summary - KNIGHTS COURT, 550 APARTMENT 25 KENILWORTH ROAD BALSALL COMMON COVENTRY CV7 7DQ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Well-equipped, social retirement living close to village amenities.
Spacious lounge/diner with southwest garden views
Quietly set within Knights Court, this first-floor two-bedroom retirement apartment suits someone looking to downsize without losing space or community. The generous lounge/diner and large main bedroom both face the well-maintained communal gardens, while a practical kitchen and adaptable second bedroom provide flexible, low-maintenance living. An on-site manager, emergency pull-cord system and easy access to social communal areas create security and companionship.
Practical details are straightforward: the property is chain free with 106 years remaining on the lease and service charge and ground rent paid until March 2026. There is resident parking with disabled bays and a lift to the first floor. The shower room is fitted with assisted furniture for easier use and there is extensive communal amenity — laundry, guest bedroom, kitchen and seating areas — that support independent living.
Be aware of some trade-offs. Service charges are high at £7,800 per year (stated to return to original levels in about 12 months, unverified) and ground rent is £460 annually. Heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas, so energy costs should be considered. The apartment is compact at around 560 sq ft, so it is best suited to buyers seeking manageable accommodation rather than maximum living space.
Overall this is a characterful, modern retirement flat in an affluent village setting, offering security, community and garden views. It will appeal to downsizers who value social facilities and low-maintenance living, and who are comfortable with the running costs and electric heating arrangement.
