A Nicely Presented First Floor Retirement Property in a Most Popular & Convenient Location
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. 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.
Number 26 is located on the first floor which is accessed via a lift and staircase. A front door opens from the communal hallway to the

MONEY LAUNDERING REGULATIONS: Under anti-money laundering legislation, we are obliged to confirm the identity of individuals and companies and the beneficial owners of organisations and trusts before accepting new instructions, and to review this from time to time. To avoid the need to request detailed identity information from vendors and intending purchasers, we may use approved external services which review publicly available information on companies and individuals. However, should those checks, for any reason, fail adequately to confirm identity, we may write to you to ask for identification evidence. If you do not provide satisfactory evidence or information within a reasonable time, we may have to stop acting for you and we would ask for your co-operation in order that there will be no delay in agreeing a sale. Any purchaser who has a provisional offer accepted via this company will be liable to pay an administration fee of £25 (incl VAT) for each person connected with the transaction to cover these checks. If we are instructed by a third party selling agent they may carry out their own AML checks and any prospective purchaser will be required to pay any additional costs involved – please speak to the office for confirmation.
REFERRAL FEES: We may refer you to recommended providers of ancillary services such as Conveyancing, Financial Services and Surveying. We may receive a commission payment fee or other benefit (known as a referral fee) for recommending their services. You are not under any obligation to use the services of the recommended provider.
