This first-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment in Fairfax Court offers comfortable, purpose-built living for the over-55s. The apartment has a private living room with a Juliet balcony overlooking landscaped communal gardens, a separate kitchen area, two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and a shower room — a straightforward, low-maintenance layout suited to downsizers.
The development supports a sociable community with a residents’ lounge, regular activities, laundry facilities, lift access and well-kept gardens. Off-street parking is available, and the building dates from the late 1990s, so construction is modern and generally low-maintenance.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 100 years remaining and an annual service charge of £4,430 plus a lease charge of £844.48. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas-fired systems. Parking is on a first-come, first-served basis rather than allocated spaces.
This apartment will suit someone seeking a social retirement setting near amenities and York city centre, who accepts leasehold obligations and the service charge in exchange for communal services, gardens and a supportive community environment.
