Sought-after retirement living with gardens and on-site care facilities.
Chain free ground-floor apartment with private patio and south-facing garden access
A bright, ground-floor retirement apartment on a corner plot, offered chain free and with direct access to a large south‑facing lawned garden. The living room opens onto a sunny patio with pleasant views towards the Cow and Calf, and the well-equipped modern kitchen includes integral appliances for low-maintenance living. The double bedroom has fitted storage and an en suite wet-room style shower for easy accessibility.
The development provides 24-hour on-site emergency assistance and an optional care and wellbeing package, plus communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, café bistro, hair salon, library and lifts to all floors. Off-street parking and ultrafast fibre broadband add everyday convenience. The property sits on regular local bus routes and is within easy reach of Ben Rhydding train station and Ilkley amenities.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: the apartment is leasehold (125-year term from 2012, c.113 years remaining) with a ground rent of £345.12 pa (paid to 31 March 2026, reviewed every five years) and a service charge currently showing as £4,827.48 pa. There is also a separate wellbeing charge covering staffing and activities. Buyers should note the development sits in an area with above‑average recorded crime levels.
This apartment will suit a downsizer seeking a secure, social retirement setting with garden access and flexible care options. It presents a turn‑key living opportunity with modest maintenance needs, but buyers should budget for the ongoing service, wellbeing and ground rent charges and consider the leasehold terms before proceeding.
