Summary - 40 HANSOM PLACE YORK YO31 8FQ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
First‑floor one‑bedroom in a gated over‑55s development with lift and parking.
Over‑55 development with part‑time warden service and communal facilities
Quietly positioned within the established Hansom Place over‑55s development, this first‑floor one‑bedroom apartment offers low‑maintenance living with lift access and on‑site parking. The living/dining room enjoys a bay window and open views over mature communal gardens, while the kitchen has been updated and the bedroom benefits from built‑in wardrobes. Shared facilities include a communal lounge, laundry, two storage rooms and part‑time warden assistance if required.
The flat is ready for immediate occupation and comes with no onward chain, making it a straightforward purchase for someone seeking independent retirement living close to local shops, regular bus routes and York Hospital. Practical benefits include an average-sized footprint (approx. 452 sq ft), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Important tenure and cost details are clear: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining, an annual ground rent of £667.67 (reviewed annually based on RPI; next increase due June 2026) and a service charge averaging £1,704.94 per year. Council Tax sits in Band B. Prospective buyers should factor these ongoing costs into affordability calculations.
Buyers should also note a couple of local considerations: the area records above‑average crime levels, and the EPC is currently to be confirmed. Overall, this apartment will suit a purchaser wanting low‑upkeep accommodation within a social retirement community, or an investor targeting a straightforward let within the over‑55s market.
