Comfortable one‑bedroom retirement apartment in a central Ilkley location, ideal for downsizers who want easy access to shops, transport and local amenities. Located on the second floor with lift access, the apartment has a bright sitting room, fitted kitchen and a practical shower room. The building benefits from communal gardens and resident off‑street parking (subject to availability).
The development is well maintained and offers useful communal facilities including a residents' lounge and laundry. Heating is provided via a community mains‑gas central system and the apartment has sealed‑unit double glazing; the EPC rating is B. The monthly service charge is £348.69 and covers central heating, hot water and communal maintenance; a sinking fund and a sale levy (currently 1.75% of the sale price) also apply.
Important note for purchasers: the lease has around 66–67 years remaining. This is likely to limit mortgage availability and some lenders may refuse to lend. Buyers should obtain independent legal and mortgage advice before proceeding. There is no onward chain, and the apartment is presented ready for occupation with modest ongoing maintenance responsibilities.
For a buyer seeking a low‑upkeep retirement base within walking distance of Ilkley town centre and transport links, this apartment offers convenience and community living, but the short lease and associated lending considerations are material factors to weigh up.
