This third-floor, one-bedroom flat in the heart of Filey is aimed squarely at over‑55 buyers seeking low-maintenance town living. The development, built by McCarthy & Stone in the late 1980s, offers a secure communal entrance, residents’ lounge, laundrette, lift access and well-kept communal gardens. The apartment is chain-free and ready for immediate occupation.
The accommodation is compact but practical: an entrance hall with storage, a bright lounge with electric fire, a small fitted kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a shower room. Double glazing and electric night-storage heating are fitted; the EPC is grade C. On-site parking is available but allocated subject to availability.
Important cost and condition points are stated plainly. The property is leasehold with about 87 years remaining, a service charge averaging £3,028 per year and ground rent around £436 annually. Heating is by electric storage radiators rather than mains gas. The flat footprint is modest (approx. 397 sq ft), so it suits a single occupant or couple rather than buyers needing larger rooms.
Location strengths include a central town position close to shops, medical services, bus and rail links and coastal amenities. Drawbacks to consider: the wider area shows higher-than-average crime and high local deprivation statistics, which may affect resale or rental demand for some buyers. Overall, this is a convenient, low‑upkeep retirement apartment with clear ongoing costs to budget for.
