A neatly presented first-floor apartment in a well-regarded over-55s development, offered chain free and ready to move into. The living room is bright and opens onto a quaint balcony; two bedrooms both include built-in storage and the layout works well for relaxed, low-maintenance living.
Residents benefit from allocated off-street parking, communal gardens, a residents' lounge and a private lockable storage unit — practical extras for downsizers who want outdoor space and easy storage. The development sits close to Arnside Promenade and the railway station, making local shops, cafés and countryside walks conveniently accessible.
Practical points to note: the apartment is leasehold with 88 years remaining (125-year lease from 1992), an annual ground rent of £90 and a service charge of about £3,660 per year (£305 pcm) covering estate management, alarm system and communal maintenance. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas central heating.
This property will suit someone seeking a comfortable, low-fuss retirement base in a friendly village location, with the convenience of nearby transport links and seaside walks. The size is modest (approximately 592 sq ft) — ideal for downsizers but may feel small for those needing extra space.
