Situated on the second floor corner of a purpose-built retirement development, this two-bedroom flat offers a practical, low-maintenance home close to Whitby’s West Cliff and local shops. Large corner dormer windows bring south‑ and west‑facing light and partial sea and town views; lifts provide level access and the flat is chain free for immediate occupation.
The building is designed for over‑60s and benefits from a 24‑hour warden/care‑line service, communal lounge, laundry, guest suite and well-kept gardens — useful social spaces that suit independent retirees seeking community support without full care dependency. An allocated off‑street parking space is available on a first‑come basis.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with 125 years remaining, a ground rent of £460 per year and a higher-than-average service charge (approx. £4,674 yearly). Heating is via electric night storage heaters and the flat uses electricity as its main fuel, so running costs may be higher than a gas‑heated home. Some rooms would benefit from new carpeting or cosmetic updating.
This is a straightforward, well‑maintained retirement apartment offering convenience, safety and pleasant outlooks close to coastal walks. It will suit a buyer seeking easy access to amenities and onsite support, who accepts communal living and the associated charges and leasehold tenure.
