Wilkins Estate Agents are pleased to present this generously proportioned one-bedroom, ground-floor retirement apartment, ideally positioned within the ever-popular and continually developing area of Tamworth. Located in a well-maintained, purpose-built development exclusively for the over-55s, this attractive home offers a superb balance of comfort, convenience, and community living.
The apartment is accessed via a bright and welcoming entrance hallway, leading through to the main living accommodation. The spacious living room is a standout feature, benefiting from a rear door that opens directly onto a private patio area-ideal for outdoor seating. From here, residents can enjoy pleasant views across beautifully maintained communal gardens, creating a peaceful and relaxing setting rarely found in apartment living. The living space is well-suited to both everyday relaxation and entertaining guests.
Adjoining the lounge is a well-appointed fitted kitchen, featuring a range of base and wall units, integrated appliances, and generous worktop space, providing a practical and efficient area for meal preparation.
The property further boasts a well-sized double bedroom, offering a calm and comfortable retreat with built-in storage solutions to maximise space. Completing the accommodation is a modern shower room fitted with a walk-in shower, combining practicality with contemporary styling.
The apartment forms part of a highly regarded retirement development, thoughtfully designed to support a secure and comfortable lifestyle. The building is immaculately maintained and benefits from a residents’ entrance hall, lift access to upper floors, and emergency pull-cord systems for added peace of mind.
Externally, residents can enjoy beautifully landscaped communal gardens, providing a tranquil outdoor environment ideal for socialising, relaxing, or enjoying the warmer months. Ample on-site parking is available for both residents and visitors, conveniently located directly in front of the building. The development also offers well-presented guest suites, allowing visiting friends and family to stay overnight in comfort.
A recently modernised communal lounge is located on the ground floor and serves as the social heart of the development. Regular events and activities are held here, fostering a friendly and welcoming community atmosphere.
The location is another key highlight. Situated within close proximity to Tamworth Town Centre and Ventura Retail Park, the apartment offers easy access to a wide range of shops, cafés, restaurants, and leisure facilities. Excellent transport links are also nearby, with Tamworth Railway Station providing direct services to Birmingham, London, and other major destinations, alongside several convenient bus routes.
In summary, this well-presented apartment presents a fantastic opportunity to enjoy a peaceful, low-maintenance lifestyle within a supportive and sociable community, while remaining close to essential amenities and transport links-an ideal choice for comfortable retirement living.
