This immaculately presented first-floor apartment in Ben Rhydding offers a ready-to-move-in home for a first-time buyer or an investor seeking low-maintenance accommodation. The recently fitted dining kitchen, new en-suite to the master bedroom and modern electric radiators mean minimal immediate work is required. The dual-aspect lounge with French doors and Juliet balcony delivers pleasant long-distance views and good natural light.
Practicalities are clear: one allocated parking space, well-kept communal gardens and a communal entrance with intercom. The 104-year lease provides long-term security, while the service charge and ground rent cover communal upkeep and buildings maintenance. Superfast fibre is available and the apartment sits within easy walking distance of Ilkley town centre, the train station and highly regarded schools.
Be aware of a few material factors: the property is leasehold with an annual ground rent and a quarterly service charge; buildings insurance is charged separately. Heating is electric storage/radiators, which can be more expensive than gas in cold months. Pets are not permitted in the building and local crime levels are above the national average, which some buyers may want to consider.
Overall this apartment suits buyers wanting a modern, low-upkeep home close to town and transport links, or investors seeking a well-presented tenancy opportunity. It balances contemporary finishes and convenience with known running costs and restrictions that should be factored into budgeting.
