This first-floor, two-bedroom apartment sits within a managed over-60s development in Wigginton, offered with vacant possession and no onward chain. The sitting room benefits from a large bay window that floods the room with light and an electric fireplace provides a focal point. The fitted kitchen has integrated oven and hob plus space for appliances. The development includes communal gardens, a shared lounge and on-site parking, useful for low-maintenance independent living.
Practical considerations are clear and straightforward. The property is leasehold with 83 years remaining on the lease (originally 120 years) which will require attention soon; prospective buyers should budget for lease extension costs and seek specialist advice. The monthly service charge is approximately £271.76 and covers estate management and communal services. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity, which may affect running costs compared with gas-heated properties.
Accommodation is compact at about 591 sq ft and will suit a single person or couple downsizing from a larger home rather than those needing extensive space. Broadband speeds are reported as up to c.76 Mbps though actual speeds vary. The property has an EPC rating of C and sits in Council Tax band B in a very low-crime, affluent suburb with good local amenities and transport links into York.
Overall this apartment offers convenient, low-upkeep retirement living in a well-maintained development. It will particularly appeal to buyers prioritising location, community facilities and easy access to shops and services, but buyers should factor in lease length, service charges and electric heating when considering long-term costs.
