9 Union House, Skipton, North Yorkshire, BD23 2UX

Pleasantly tucked away in this imaginative canalside mill conversion development within easy level walking distance of all town centre amenities, this comfortable and easy to manage one bedroom apartment includes the great advantage of secure gated undercroft parking together with an impressive elevated balcony commanding spectacular panoramic views over the town and towards the hills and countryside beyond.

Including lift and staircase access to all levels, the property forms part of the prestigious conversion of the historic Grade II Listed ‘Union Mill’ and benefits from a well-established and extremely well managed leasehold management structure including a long 999 year lease, a relatively low annual service charge and zero ground rent payable.

Offering far more than at first meets the eye, this very affordable apartment truly requires a first-hand inspection in order to appreciate the many appealing features on offer including briefly;

- A designated parking space within a secure/gated undercroft parking area. (The gates are remotely operated). - Ample further communal/visitor parking externally. - A private lockable storeroom with ample space for bikes and other household items. - French doors leading to an impressive second floor balcony, thoughtfully positioned a good distance away from any neighbouring balconies and therefore having a greater deal of privacy whilst commanding magnificent panoramic views over Skipton. - A mains gas central heating system with the boiler having been replaced in 2023 and still benefiting from the remainder of a 7 year warranty. - A well equipped kitchen with breakfast bar peninsular. - A three piece bathroom with mixer shower over the bath. - Purely 100% Residential Development (no commercial, retail or leisure element). - Only a few minutes’ walk from town centre amenities including the high street, the bus station, the railway station and the Leeds Liverpool canal. - No through road/cul-de-sac style development with no passing traffic. - Westerly facing aspect benefiting from a good degree of afternoon sunlight and wonderful sunsets.

This excellent apartment would suit a range of potential purchasers including first time buyers, downsizers, retired persons looking for single storey living with lift access or perhaps those searching for an affordable ‘lock-up-and-leave’ style home within this popular market town. In addition the property offers significant attraction as a buy-to-let /Landlord investment opportunity with the potential to realise a rent in the region of circa £750 per calendar month (£9000 gross per annum = 6.2% gross yield based on paying the full asking price). Market rents have increased considerably within the local area in recent years and we are advised that there is currently a high demand for this type of property from professional working tenants. For further advice on the strong letting potential we would encourage interested parties to speak with our local recommended Specialist Letting Agent – Belvoir (Skipton) .
