Summary - FAIRFAX COURT 4 ACOMB ROAD YORK YO24 4HS
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Well-presented McCarthy & Stone ground-floor flat with garden access and communal facilities.
Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment with private courtyard access
A ground-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment in Fairfax Court, purpose-built by McCarthy & Stone and offered with no onward chain. The flat is well presented with an upgraded kitchen, a larger-than-average double bedroom with built-in storage, and French doors from the reception room onto a small private courtyard and well-kept communal gardens. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, guest suite, laundry, lift access and resident/visitor parking.
The location is convenient for Acomb village amenities — shops, library, doctors and easy access to York city centre — making daily life straightforward and sociable. The development is part-warden controlled with secure communal entry, helping provide peace of mind for over-55s and those seeking a low‑maintenance lifestyle.
Important practical points are set out clearly: the property is leasehold (105 years remaining), with an annual service charge of £2,862.76 and a ground rent of £723.84. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, which can increase running costs. The apartment is compact (about 481 sq ft) and double glazing dates from before 2002, so some buyers may wish to budget for future upgrades.
Overall this apartment suits a buyer seeking a manageable, community-oriented home close to local amenities and York centre. It offers straightforward, low-maintenance living but comes with typical retirement‑development running costs and electric heating to consider.
