Compact, low-maintenance over-55s home with private entrance and river outlook.
Deceptively spacious two-bedroom first-floor retirement flat
Designed for residents aged 55 and over, this deceptively spacious first-floor flat offers practical retirement living with pleasant river views. A private entrance and intercom provide independent access, while gas central heating and double glazing keep running costs reasonable. The sitting room looks out over the river and the property benefits from communal gardens and a residential cul-de-sac location.
At around 448 sq ft the layout is compact: two bedrooms, a breakfast kitchen with appliances and a shower room. The flat is chain free and has a long lease (189 years remaining), making it straightforward to buy. An EPC rating of C and council tax band B are favourable for running costs.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold apartment within an over-55s development with an annual service charge of approximately £3,384. The overall accommodation is small and will suit downsizers seeking low-maintenance living rather than those needing generous space. There is a medium flooding risk for the area and the building dates from the 1980s, so routine maintenance or updates may be required over time.
Situated in Boroughbridge, the location offers local shops, a supermarket, medical services and transport links to York and Harrogate. The setting suits buyers looking for a quiet town fringe retirement base with easy access to nearby countryside and amenities.
