A bright top-floor apartment in Chesterton Court designed exclusively for residents aged 70+. The two-bedroom layout includes a generous living room with a Juliette balcony and far-reaching views, a modern shower room plus separate WC, and a useful walk-in wardrobe. An allocated off-street parking space is included—a notable convenience within the development.
Life at Chesterton Court centres on low-maintenance, secure living: 24-hour staffing, an on-site estate manager, a bistro restaurant, communal lounge with social events and flexible care packages available if required. The service charge covers many communal running costs and even includes one hour of domestic assistance per week, helping to reduce day-to-day burdens.
Important practical points: the home is heated by electric room heaters and relies on electricity as the main fuel, which may affect running costs. The annual service charge is high and ground rent is payable; prospective buyers should factor these ongoing costs into affordability. Crime in the area is reported as above average, though the development’s staffing and communal security systems provide added reassurance.
This apartment will suit downsizers seeking a social, well-serviced retirement base close to Ilkley town centre, station and local healthcare. Part-exchange is available to simplify moving, and the exceptionally long lease offers long-term security for owners.
