This third-floor, two-bedroom apartment in central Harrogate offers a neat, contemporary home ready to move into with no onward chain. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen space feels bright and practical, while the main bedroom’s en suite adds everyday convenience. One allocated off-street parking space is included — a useful asset so close to town.
The building dates from the late 2000s and benefits from double glazing and an EPC C rating. The apartment is compact but well planned (approximately 621 sq ft), suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-maintenance city base near The Stray and Harrogate town centre. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Costs and constraints are straightforward: the property is leasehold with 137 years remaining, an annual service charge around £2,026 and a ground rent of £150. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which may mean higher running costs for some buyers. There’s no private garden and the internal rooms are modest in size.
Buyers should also note the local crime level is described as high for the area — consider this when viewing and arranging insurance. Overall, the apartment presents practical, modern living in a central location with clear ownership costs and a short list of trade-offs to weigh against convenience and low maintenance living.
