Boroughbridge’s shops, services and green walking routes are within easy reach, while fast broadband and very low council tax help keep running costs down.
Important lease and risk information: the flat is leasehold with 62 years remaining. That limited term may restrict mortgage options and could make lenders refuse finance; buyers should seek specialist mortgage advice. There is a medium flood risk for the area, which prospective purchasers should investigate and insure against.
Overall the flat suits downsizers seeking a manageable ground-floor home in a quiet retirement development. It offers immediate occupancy and modest upkeep, but buyers must be comfortable with the short lease length and the local flood risk before proceeding.
