This is a two bedroom two bathroom dormer bungalow for sale at the Mickle Hill retirement village in Pickering.

There are a number of similar properties available shown in various listings on Rightmove and other sites - please have a look there for photographs of the communal facilities within Mickle Hill itself; bistro, bar, cinema, salon, gym, library, craft room, gardens etc etc. These bungalows all share an almost identical layout and included features and fixtures.

This has a south facing rear patio overlooking fields, end of terrace so an additional window in the lounge and at the top of the stairs giving greater natural light.

An important thing to emphasise is that as with all retirement villages there are monthly charges for communal facilities upkeep and running, this equates to roughly £685 per month currently (specific details and budgeted charges for 2027 can be obtained from Rangeford Limited who run the Mickle Hill development). Residential care packages are available onsite at an additional cost to the standard monthly fees which cover a variety of needs from weekly house cleaning, personal assistance up to round-the-clock care and supervision in your own home, again all details are available from Rangeford.

This property has had two owners from new, my mother was the last owner and she spent seven very happy years here.

Fitted wardrobes in both bedrooms and the downstairs bedroom has additional secondary glazing installed in addition to the standard double glazing.

There are ceiling fans in the lounge, kitchen and the upstairs bedroom and my Mum had radiator covers made for the radiators in the hall kitchen and lounge by a local carpenter, I'm sure he'd be happy to make additional ones for the other rooms if required.

Depending on your needs the property is available furnished or unfurnished, with or without the stairlift, if you chose to it would be easy to sell the stairlift and have it moved to another bungalow owners' property at Mickle Hill who may have changing needs as all bungalow layouts are identical. There are wearable and static alarms linked to the care team in the Pavillion for immediate emergency response for all residents.

Three floor to ceiling 'Stander poles' are available with the property if required, these aid balance and mobility, getting in and out of chairs, shower, bathroom etc. Have a look online at 'Stander Poles' for an easy understanding of what they are for.

If you have the need there are also two electric mobility scooters available with the sale if required, a smaller one with remote control electric folding, for ease of getting to and from the Pavillion, and a further larger electric mobility scooter should you wish to travel into Pickering and back, there is a scooter storage in an annex to the Pavillion.

Give me a call if you want any more details or would like to arrange to have a look around, I can attend most days to show you around the house and the Pavillion and I only live 20 minutes away so I'm pretty flexible.

If you want a retirement property with assisted living available on demand, and you know the charges are not insignificant, it’s a great place to be, well my Mum thought so anyway.

I have set the price at a discount to the valuation we received which as a saving should equate to a couple of years of the service and wellbeing charges.
