Warm and welcoming times at Grange Court
RETIREES could swap cold and lonely winter nights with a move to Grange Court in Solihull.
Many older people worry about venturing outside in wintery conditions but by staying in they can become lonely and isolated. In contrast, Grange Court offers opportunities to ‘go out, while staying in’, enablingolder people to spend time in the company of likeminded individuals.
But with just a few apartments still available, buyers will need to act fast to avoid disappointment.
Liz Herring, sales and marketing manager for Aspen, says: “January and February are generally the coldest and darkest winter months and for those in later years the weather conditions can cause problems. Some may worry about the cost of heating a draughty old house that’s now too large for them; while others may be reluctant to go outside for fear of slipping on ice.
“Moving to somewhere like Grange Court can ease some of those concerns as our apartments are full of energy efficient measures that make them warm and less costly to run. Plus with a communal lounge homeowners can socialise with friends and neighbours without having to face the elements. For example, a games night takes place on Saturdays, residents often tuck in to fish and chip suppers together and enjoy a spot of afternoon tea each week.”
The final properties include a one-bedroom showhome complete with carpets, curtains, light fittings, plus fire and surround in the lounge. It’s available from £176,950 with the option to purchase the furniture.
There’s also a two-bedroom apartment priced at £259,950.
In addition to the on-site activities, homeowners also make frequent trips to Solihull or Birmingham to watch the Royal Ballet, musicals and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. Sight-seeing outings are also popular.
Located on Warwick Road, Solihull, Grange Court is ideally situated opposite the popular Dovehouse Parade of shops which cater for homeowners daily needs. The number 37 bus stops right outside, offering frequent services to Birmingham and Solihull.
