About this property

Enjoy peace of mind and a sense of security in this over 60s retirement development with a manager on site and 24-hour emergency contact.
A large south-facing window in the living room makes for a light, bright living space with views over the central courtyard, so you can sit and watch the world go by.
There is plenty of storage here with built-in wardrobes in the bedroom and cupboards in the hallway too.
Pop round to the Locks Heath Centre and Waitrose without having to cross a road. A private gated access to a footpath takes you straight to the centre.
Modern fitted kitchen with built in oven & hob full height integrated fridge/freezer and slimline dishwasher.
Offered with no forward chain you could soon be settled in and planning how to make this home your own.

In the hallway there are double storage cupboards, one housing the hot water tank, the other perfect for coats or the Hoover & ironing board. Doors lead off the other rooms and into the living room. Even on the gloomiest day, the large window will allow natural light in, and you'll have a room with a view. There is plenty of room for a dining set and an arch opens into the kitchen. There is a good range of modern units giving plenty of cupboard storage, a range of integrated appliances including a full-height fridge/freezer, slimline dishwasher inset hob with oven below and extractor over. The bedroom has built-in wardrobes to one wall and there is plenty of room for a double bed and other furniture. The shower room has a walk-in shower with a Mira electric shower, a pedestal wash hand basin and W.C.
The heating in the property is provided via night storage and panel heaters. The two windows have been replaced with double-glazed UPVC. The development itself is for the over 60s only. There is a good sense of community with a residents' lounge with some organised events if you wish to be sociable. There is also a laundry room plus a guest room available to hire for visiting family or friends.
With Locks Heath Centre shops, library, doctors and the bus terminal just moments away, there are few locations that could offer such convenience, especially for those without a car. The communal gardens are well maintained for residents to enjoy and there is parking available on a first come, first served basis. There is no forward sales chain to delay a sale, so if you are keen to secure your next home, please call Robinson Reade where one of our friendly and professional team will be happy to arrange an appointment to view.
