Description
We are pleased to offer this one bedroom ground floor flat at Bluebell Court, our brand new Retirement Living Scheme in the picturesque city of Lichfield.
Bluebell Court is centrally located, and within walking distance of Lichfield City train station, Lichfield bus terminal, and city centre shops and amenities.
Our home consists of 1 double bedroom, wet room, open plan living room and kitchen. On site we have:
• Private residents parking
• Cycle / mobility scooter storage
• Lift access to all floors
Our flat is suitable for up to 2 people. There is a communal garden and roof terrace for use of all residents.
Our scheme benefits from electric storage heating and hot water, and has electric cooker points.
If you have a pet, we can discuss this once you have been shortlisted for a property at Bluebell Court.
From time to time you may have family and friends visit. Should they need to stay over, a guest room is available to hire.
We’ll have a Retirement Living Officer on hand, who will be on site 14 hours per week, to take care of the day-to-day running of the development and to be there in the event that you need support with things such as money or tenancy advice. The benefit of Retirement Living is that you get to live totally independently within your own home, but with the comfort of knowing that you can talk to a member of our team should you need to.
The Retirement Living Officer will help you with things like:
• Assisting you to resolve or prevent housing debts
• Assisting you claim and manage housing benefits and other benefits
• Advice and assistance in relation to fulfilling tenancy conditions
• Advice and assistance to you in relation to your own personal safety and the safety and security of your home
• Organising repairs for the communal areas and in some cases your own home.
If successful, you’ll be required to pay a minimum of one weeks rent in advance.
As our site is still under construction, we ask that you don’t access Bluebell Court or any of the rooms until invited to by a member of our team
This is a sensitive allocation and we’ll need to do background and residency checks to find the person most suited to this home. We welcome applications from households where all members are age 55 and over, or age 50 and over with a medical need to move, and who have a local connection to Lichfield, and where at least one household member is in employment.
Estimated completion date is October 2021 but this is subject to change.
Applicant Requirements
We welcome applicants aged over: 50
We may look at your application for this home even if it has more bedrooms than you need. If you apply, we’ll need you to show us that you can afford to pay the rent for the extra bedroom.
