This second-floor two-bedroom apartment in Wordsworth House offers a bright sitting room, pleasant juliet balcony views towards Ilkley Moor, and an allocated parking space. The flat is well presented and ready to occupy, sold with no onward chain — a straightforward purchase for a buyer seeking immediate move-in or a rental opportunity.
Practical running costs include electric room heating, sealed-unit double glazing and an annual service charge of £1,216.64 plus ground rent of £150. The property is modest in size (circa 506 sq ft) and sits within maintained communal gardens, which add low-maintenance outdoor amenity.
Important lease information affects value and mortgageability: 78 years remain on the lease. Many mortgage lenders restrict or refuse lending under this remaining term, so buyers should seek specialist advice or prepare for a higher-deposit/cash purchase. There is also above-average local crime statistics to consider when comparing neighbourhoods.
The location is a strong asset: Ben Rhydding/Ilkley amenities, good primary and secondary schools, and rail links to Leeds/Bradford are close by. For first-time buyers this apartment can be an affordable entry point to the area if you manage the lease and heating considerations, or it could suit a cash buyer or experienced investor aware of lease-extension costs.
