A ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment designed for over-55s with direct riverside views across St Ives. The open-plan living/dining room and principal bedroom both have French doors overlooking well-kept communal gardens and the river, creating a light, peaceful living space close to the town centre.
Practical features include allocated off-street parking, built-in storage, and a compact fitted kitchen. The property is chain-free and ready for a swift purchase, appealing to downsizers seeking low-maintenance riverside living within easy walking distance of shops and amenities.
Important considerations: this is a leasehold flat with 82 years remaining and an above-average service charge of approximately £5,500 per year (figures updated July 2025). Heating is electric wall/room heaters (no communal gas), broadband speeds are slow locally, and the wider area records higher crime levels. Prospective buyers should seek specialist advice on lease renewal costs and ongoing service charges.
Overall this is a well-located retirement apartment offering scenic riverside views and convenient access to St Ives, best suited to purchasers comfortable with electric heating and an urgent lease extension process to secure long-term tenure.
