A well-proportioned two-bedroom lower-ground retirement apartment offering direct access to a private patio and communal gardens. The principal bedroom has an en suite and built-in wardrobes; a generous sitting room with French doors brings morning sun to the patio. The development is designed for over-60s living with 24-hour on-site staff, an emergency call system, residents’ lounge, café bistro, hair salon and guest suite — useful for social life and peace of mind.
Practical details are straightforward: the flat is chain-free, held on a long lease (around 115 years remaining) with allocated residents’ parking and lift access. The accommodation is presented in immaculate condition with a fitted kitchen, double glazing and modern shower/bathrooms, ready to move into for someone seeking an independent but supported lifestyle.
Material costs to budget for include a high service and well-being charge (currently about £740.05 pcm / £8,880.60 pa) which covers heating, hot water, building maintenance and communal services, plus an annual ground rent (£518.64). Prospective buyers should confirm heating fuel and service inclusions, and note the lower-ground position brings reduced external window area compared with upper floors.
The location sits in a comfortable, self-sufficient retirement neighbourhood in Ben Rhydding/Ilkley, with good local shops, transport links and pleasant surrounding countryside. There is no flooding risk, but local crime rates are above average — something to consider when comparing areas and reviewing security arrangements on site.
