Work on a new retirement living community in Wylde Green, Sutton Coldfield, is set to complete in October 2023.

Construction began in July at Broadleaf House, a brand-new Adlington Retirement Living community, situated in Wylde Green, on the south side of Sutton Coldfield in the West Midlands.

The new community, on Birmingham Road, will offer 57 stylish one, two and three-bedroom retirement apartments for the over 55's, in a safe and secure environment, with the benefit of patios or walk-out balconies to most apartments.

This week, Adlington Retirement Living has released new pictures showing what the exterior of the age-exclusive retirement community is expected to look like.

Alexandra Johnson, Sales and Marketing Director for Adlington Retirement Living, said: “Our award-winning approach to independent living, ensures Homeowners don't have to compromise on their lifestyle, their social life or their independence. We aim to provide a community spirit, whilst promoting independence and individual respect. It's a chance to become part of a thriving community of like-minded people, with a shared outlook.”

Joan and Bill, homeowners at The Chimes, in Cheadle, said: “The best bits about living here are you've got people on hand. You can have your privacy. You have your own apartment. You can stay there whenever you want to and you can be on your own… but you also have the alternative, if you want it. I think having that choice is such a big thing and you can have one choice one day and the other choice the next day. It's a perfect situation.”

Four of Adlington's retirement communities have won Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards for the Best Retirement Development at the WhatHouse? Awards, the UK housebuilding's most prestigious event. Adlington House in Otley won the Gold Award in 2017, The Folds in Romiley and the Bridges in Macclesfield won the Silver Award in 2020 and 2019, and Adlington House in Portishead won the Bronze Award in 2015.

Broadleaf House will offer Wylde Green residents the best of both worlds. Homeowners will be able to enjoy the privacy of their own peaceful and spacious apartment, spend time in the leafy gardens (maintained by an expert team of gardeners), relax in the hair salon, therapy suite or Homeowners' Lounge and enjoy the table service restaurant.

Alexandra Johnson adds: “One of the main benefits of retirement living is not having to worry about maintaining a house and garden anymore. It's lovely to hear many of our Homeowners at our other communities comment on the free time and energy they have to enjoy life. They often remark how much more 'me time' they discover not having to worry about repairs, DIY or mowing.”

John and Marcia, homeowners at The Cottons in Ramsbottom said: “It's a great relief to know that I have no external repairs to do.”

One of the aspects that appeals to many Homeowners is the fact that optional personal care packages can be put in place to suit individuals' needs. Be it short-term support after an operation, or more regular, long-term tailored personal care, the team work closely with their local care partner to ensure a flexible solution to suit each individual.

Alexandra Johnson explains: “More of our Homeowners are choosing to move to retirement communities whilst they're fit and healthy, to future-proof their retirement. We offer a personal approach to care to ensure that each individual receives just the right amount to maintain their independence, allowing them to enjoy their retirement to the full.

“Even though many of our Homeowners do not need specialist care, the Adlington on-site support team is always there in the background giving them and their families comfort that in the event of an unexpected fall help is immediately to hand.”

Philip and Edna, homeowners at The Sailings in Southport, said: “The best thing about moving here has been the peace of mind. Not only for us, but for our two daughters.”

Each apartment at Broadleaf House in Wylde Green has been designed to make everyday life easier, safer and more comfortable. Every detail has been considered from the natural light and user-friendly layout to the spacious storage cupboards and private patios or balconies.

Quality fixtures and fittings include hardwearing 80% wool carpets that reduce heat loss and add a touch of luxury, feature fireplaces, fully-fitted kitchens with integrated appliances and specially designed wet rooms.
