A Well Presented, First Floor Two Bedroom Retirement Apartment in a Convenient Location
Occupying a convenient location in close proximity to the centre of Shirley, these purpose built executive apartments were built specifically for the over 60’s with retirement, privacy and care in mind. There are ample facilities within the development, which gives an opportunity for convivial conversation and meeting of people in the communal lounge, yet privacy within one’s own home. Security is ensured by a gated parking area and an entry phone system at ground floor level. The apartment itself has strategically positioned emergency pull cords and telephone which will automatically seek assistance should it be required.
There is a house manager within the complex ensuring the smooth running of the development. The grounds are neatly laid out with seating areas and car parking, and around the corner from the development is a parade of local shops and Marks and Spencer convenience store (at the BP service station) serving everyday needs. Local bus services travel along the main Stratford Road which will take you into the town centre of Shirley, central Solihull or the City of Birmingham and its outlying suburbs.
In the main shopping area in Shirley one will find an excellent array of shops ranging from small speciality and convenience stores to a choice of major supermarkets and Superstores on the Retail Park. We would estimate that a journey by car of some two miles will bring you to the junction of the A34 Stratford Road with the M42 motorway, which forms the hub of the national motorway network, and two junctions down the motorway will bring you to the National Exhibition Centre and Birmingham International Airport and Railway Station, giving easy access for those wishing to holiday or those coming to visit.
An ideal location therefore for this very well presented first floor apartment which occupies a fantastic position in the development. The property does really require internal inspection to be appreciated.
