Summary - HILLARY COURT 51 FRESHFIELD ROAD FORMBY LIVERPOOL L37 3PS
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Light-filled two-bedroom flat near Formby station and village amenities.
Third-floor retirement apartment for the over-60s
A bright, purpose-built retirement apartment on the third floor of Hillary Court, set in the heart of Formby village and a short walk from the railway station. The lounge faces south, bringing good natural light, and the home benefits from a modern fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a contemporary shower suite — all arranged for convenient, low-maintenance living. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, well-kept gardens, lift access, laundry, guest facilities, on-site management staff and a Careline alarm service.
This leasehold flat was built in 2003 for over-60s living and comes with 104 years remaining on the lease. Practical running costs include an approximate service charge of £1,500 every six months (c. £3,000pa) and a ground rent of about £250pa; council tax is Band D for 2025/26. Heating is electric with wall/room heaters rather than gas central heating, which affects running costs and may be a consideration for budget-conscious buyers.
The apartment is tidy and move-in ready for someone seeking a manageable retirement base in a well-regarded, very affluent area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Downsides to note: the development records above-average local crime, the property has electric heating and carpeted floors that some buyers may wish to replace, and the communal service charge is material. Overall this is a secure, sociable option for active retirees who value proximity to shops, rail links and coastal amenities.
