Quiet, ground-floor one-bedroom in a purpose-built over-55s complex, offering practical, low-maintenance living close to Sherburn in Elmet amenities. The apartment benefits from a warden on site, an emergency pull-cord in the wetroom, and attractive communal gardens for outdoor relaxation and socialising.
The interior requires renovation, so it will suit buyers looking to personalise a compact home. Key practical features include double glazing, FTTP broadband, and Economy 7 electric storage heating—note that heating is electric rather than gas, which may affect running costs.

On sale, a management company fee of 2.5% of the purchase price applies (buyer pays one-fifth), which should be factored into purchase costs.

Viewing is recommended to assess renovation scope and layout suitability.
