RL0918 - Set within the popular Heslington Court development, this beautifully presented two-bedroom ground-floor apartment offers an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to downsize while remaining in one of York’s most desirable locations.

The current sellers have comprehensively modernised the apartment during their ownership, creating a smart, comfortable and easy-to-manage home that is ready to move into.

The accommodation is arranged entirely on the ground floor and includes a welcoming entrance hall with useful storage, a generous living room, fitted kitchen, main double bedroom and a second bedroom which is currently used as a dining room.

This second room is a particularly attractive feature of the apartment, with French doors opening directly onto the communal gardens. Used as a dining room, it creates a lovely connection between the living accommodation and outside space, while retaining the flexibility to be returned to use as a second bedroom if required.

The shower room has also been updated, while replacement internal doors, carpets and decoration carried out during the sellers’ ownership contribute to the well-kept feel throughout.

Heslington Court provides independent living with additional reassurance. The apartment benefits from emergency pull cords providing access to 24-hour assistance, together with a residents’ warden and the option of daily welfare checks.

Residents also have use of a communal lounge, which can be booked for family gatherings, together with a communal kitchen, laundry room and WC. These facilities are included within the service charge, along with the attractive communal garden areas surrounding the development.

Heslington Court is primarily designed for those aged 55 and over. Applicants over the age of 18 with a disability may also be eligible, subject to approval by the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust.

The property is offered at £135,000 for a 70% shared ownership interest with the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust. A new 60-year lease will be granted on completion and all prospective purchasers are required to complete the JRHT application process and meet the relevant eligibility criteria.

An appealing combination of ground-floor living, flexible accommodation, direct garden access and a highly regarded Heslington setting.
