This impressive penthouse occupies the top floor of the prestigious Ropner Gardens development and offers exceptionally large, light-filled living spaces across one level. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living room is the social heart, while two double bedrooms both benefit from en-suite facilities; the principal suite includes a dressing room and freestanding bath with sauna-shower function. Private lift access brings you directly into the apartment for true low‑maintenance living.
Set within about three acres of well-kept communal landscaped gardens with allocated parking and visitor spaces, the property suits downsizers, professionals seeking a lock‑up‑and‑leave home, or buyers after a high-spec second residence. The apartment’s high ceilings and large windows provide elevated views towards the Cleveland Hills and a bright, airy atmosphere throughout. Integrated kitchen appliances and granite worktops contribute to the premium feel.
Practical points to note: tenure is share of freehold and an average service charge of around £2,000 per year applies. There is no private outdoor garden — the outside amenity is communal only — and some upper-floor rooms have sloping ceilings that reduce full headroom in places. Council tax is above average for the area and local crime statistics are above the national average; buyers should weigh these factors alongside the strong location and generous internal space.
Overall this penthouse delivers substantial single-floor living in a peaceful, well-connected village setting, with easy access to Darlington, Yarm and major road and rail routes. It will particularly appeal to buyers who prioritise space, convenience and a high-quality finish with minimal external maintenance responsibilities.
