This first-floor two-double-bedroom flat in Burley in Wharfedale is offered chain-free and ready to move into after recent refreshes. New carpets and décor (Sept 2025) plus a new gas boiler (Apr 2025) reduce immediate maintenance costs and make the home comfortable from day one. The private rear lawned garden with a southerly aspect is a rare benefit for a flat and suits outdoor seating or small-scale gardening.
Practical running costs are favourable: mains gas heating, low ground rent (£10 pa) and very cheap council tax (Band A). The 125-year lease commenced in 1990 leaving about 90 years remaining; this is sufficient for many buyers but should be checked by mortgage providers and solicitors. Parking is on-street only and there is no allocated space.
The property is best suited to first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a commuter-friendly village with good schools and rail links to Leeds and Ilkley. There is short- to medium-term potential to add value by modernising the kitchen and bathroom or landscaping the garden, but the flat is already in good decorative order and structurally appears typical for its era.
Buyers should note the EPC rating of D; further insulation or energy upgrades could improve long-term running costs and market appeal. The apartment’s compact, practical layout and private garden make it a straightforward purchase for someone looking for a low-hassle home near local amenities and transport connections.
