Summary - 17 Chesterton Court, Railway Road, ILKLEY LS29 8UW
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Spacious two-bed retirement apartment with balcony and full on-site support.
Exclusive over-70s retirement apartment with 24-hour on-site staffing
A bright two-bedroom first-floor apartment in Chesterton Court, designed exclusively for over-70s who want a low-maintenance, sociable retirement. The living room opens via French doors onto a private balcony overlooking landscaped communal gardens. Bedrooms are generously sized and the shower wetroom is fitted for ease of use and emergency assistance.
The development offers 24-hour on-site staffing, a bistro restaurant, and flexible care packages. The service charge covers many communal running costs (external maintenance, gardening, window cleaning, buildings insurance, water for communal areas and energy for communal facilities) and includes one hour of domestic assistance per week. The property is well placed for Ilkley rail station, shops, hospital and local amenities, with fast full-fibre broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Important costs and considerations: the annual service charge is substantial at £12,775.62 and there is an annual ground rent of £510. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating which can affect running costs. The apartment is leasehold (999-year lease from 2017, c. 993 years remaining). Local crime levels are reported above average for the area.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking secure, maintenance-light retirement living close to Ilkley town and transport links, who understands the premium communal services carry in ongoing charges and prefers on-site support and communal facilities to independent house maintenance.
