This well-presented first-floor apartment offers straightforward, low-maintenance living within a mature, well-regarded development. The principal rooms are bright and well-proportioned: a light living room with Juliet balcony opens into a generous kitchen/dining space, and the master bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an ensuite. With two bathrooms and two double bedrooms, the layout suits a downsizer or professional couple seeking practical space without the chore of a private garden.
The development is a major asset: extensive communal grounds (approximately 200 acres of park and woodland), pleasant walking routes and on-site landscaping provide a semi-rural feel while remaining convenient for Menston village amenities and rail links to Leeds, Bradford and Ilkley. One allocated parking space and visitor bays are provided, and the apartment sits on a long lease with nearly a millennium remaining, removing immediate lease concerns.
Buyers should be aware this is a leasehold apartment with a service charge and ground rent. The current service charge is approximately £172.21 pcm (c. £2,066.52 annually) and ground rent £250 pa; these cover communal upkeep but will add to running costs. The property footprint is average for a two-bedroom first-floor flat (c. 700 sqft), so prospective purchasers wanting larger private outdoor space should note grounds are communal only.
Overall this apartment delivers ready-to-move-in, low-hassle accommodation in a substantial, park-like development. It will particularly appeal to buyers prioritising location, communal green space and straightforward day-to-day living, while those sensitive to ongoing service charges or seeking private gardens should factor those points into their decision.
