This immaculate two-bedroom, two-bathroom ground-floor apartment in Priestley Court offers an easy, low-maintenance retirement lifestyle within walking distance of central Ilkley. Bought as the development’s original show apartment, it is presented to a high standard with contemporary kitchen fittings, a spacious master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite shower room. Double-glazed patio doors open onto a private paved seating area with direct access to well-kept communal gardens and a rooftop sun terrace with Ilkley Moor views.
Practical features include a large utility/storage cupboard, controlled entry, wheelchair accessibility and ultrafast fibre broadband. The development provides on-site staff support if required and communal spaces for socialising, including a residents’ lounge and landscaped grounds — appealing for those seeking companionship and convenience close to shops, cafés and transport links.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement property with a very long lease (remainder of a 999-year term from 2020). The current annual service charge is £4,124.64 and ground rent £495 per year; these cover communal upkeep and services. Heating is electric room heaters rather than a central system, which may affect running costs for some buyers. The area records above-average crime statistics, so prospective purchasers may wish to satisfy themselves about local safety and security arrangements.
Sold with no onward chain and ready to move into, the apartment suits downsizers seeking a stylish, low-maintenance base in Ilkley’s spa-town setting, with good transport links to Leeds and Bradford and easy access to local green space and amenities.
