A Purpose Built Ground Floor Retirement Apartment with Direct Garden Access Being Sold with No Upward Chain

Constructed by McCarthy & Stone on the site of an old mill, hence Millers Court, these modern flats were built specifically for the over 60s with retirement, privacy and care in mind. McCarthy & Stone are the country's leading builder of such accommodation and their experience is shown with this 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 an entry phone system at ground floor level. The flat 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 development and in addition to the communal lounge and kitchen, there is a guests bedroom with en-suite which is available by prior booking. Also on the ground floor is a residents laundry room with washing and drying facilities. The grounds are neatly laid out with seating areas and car parking, and across the road from the development is a parade of local shops serving everyday needs. Local bus services pass by which will take you into the town centre of Shirley, central Solihull or the City of Birmingham and its outlying suburbs. A short walk will bring you to Shirley Railway Station, which offers services along the Stratford upon Avon to Birmingham line.

The main shopping area in Shirley is approximately one mile distant, and here 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 four 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.

    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
