Two double bedrooms with ensuite to master
Lift access to top-floor penthouse level

Long lease remaining (967 years) and low council tax band
Service charge approximately £1,392 per year
Heating via electric storage heaters; EPC rated D
No private garden; communal amenities only
This top-floor penthouse sits in the well-regarded Sandgate Court, a managed development near Penrith town centre. Arranged as two double bedrooms with an ensuite to the master, the apartment feels deceptively spacious with a contemporary living area, skylight and a Juliet balcony that picks up street views. Residents benefit from lift access and secure undercover garage parking entered by remote control.
The development is maintained centrally, with external repairs, gardening and window cleaning handled as part of the service, which suits buyers seeking a low-maintenance home. The long lease (967 years remaining) and modest council tax band add ownership certainty. The apartment's location places local shops, cafes, schools and transport links within easy reach.
Buyers should note practical points: heating is by electric storage heaters and the EPC is rated D, so running costs may be higher than for gas-heated homes. There is no private garden, and the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of about £1,392. Overall, this will suit someone wanting a ready-made, comfortable home with managed communal services and convenient parking, particularly downsizers or those seeking a low-upkeep town residence.
