Hargreave Close
Welcome to Hargreave Close
At Hargreave Close, a leasehold retirement development in Walmley, we have 8 one bedroom bungalows, 4 two bedroom bungalows and 26 two storey, two bedroom homes for people over the age of 60.
The development is a 5 to 10 minute walk to Walmley Village, close to Royal Sutton Coldfield and surrounding areas either by car or bus. Transport links include a rail station approximately 3 miles away. Walmley Village amenities include a Co-op supermarket, chemists, post office, doctors, optician, dentist, a church and a pub that serves food. An Asda superstore is a mile away and Sainsbury’s about 3 miles away. Other local amenities include a library and a nearby nature walk through Newhall Park into Royal Sutton Coldfield Town Centre.
In addition to each individual private property, we provide a communal lounge, a free on-site laundry, well maintained landscaped gardens, and 40 allocated parking spaces. For those times when you might like to be more sociable and meet up with others, some residents organise monthly coffee mornings and day trips if sufficient people wish to take part. A guest room is bookable at our sister estate, Calder Drive, approximately a 2 – 4 minute walk away.
The current Estate Manager is resident and able to offer help, advice and co-ordinates services provided during working hours.

Life at Hargreave Close
All Anchor estates offer a 24-hour alarm call service in private and shared areas. Every estate will have either a resident or visiting manager who provides help, advice and co-ordinates any services provided.
In addition to each individual private property, all Anchor estates offer some shared facilities, available for the use and enjoyment of all the residents, and managed and maintained by Anchor.
Shared facilities vary from one estate to the next. Anchor estates offer some or all of the following:
- a guest suite for visitors
- a maintained communal lounge for social activities and events
- residents’ and visitors’ parking
- lifts where appropriate in shared buildings of two or more floors
- maintained gardens for all residents to enjoy
- a conservatory shared by all residents
- a shared laundry which saves space in residents' kitchens
If you are over 60 years old and wanting to own a retirement property without the burden of maintenance and repairs, Anchor-managed properties may be the answer. Anchor estates are all very different. They range from a small cul–de-sac of six bungalows to a large estate of 86 apartments. Most are set in pleasant landscaped settings.
At each estate there will be an estate manager who can act as the first point of contact for any queries that residents may have and offer help to access any local services.
Our retirement properties have a real community feel where people interact with their neighbours, families and friends, continuing to do all the things they love.
Many of our leasehold housing developments organise a wide range of activities and events tailored to the interests of the people living in them.
