Set on the third floor of a purpose-built retirement development, this two-bedroom, two-bath apartment offers easy, low-effort living with a walk-out balcony overlooking the communal courtyard. The master bedroom benefits from an ensuite and built-in wardrobes, while the living room opens onto the balcony to bring in natural light. The fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances and practical work surfaces.
Kenton Lodge is designed for over-70s and provides a strong on-site support infrastructure: an estate manager, 24-hour emergency call system, resident's lounge, restaurant, guest suite and optional extra care packages. Superfast fibre, a lift to all floors and a permit parking scheme add convenience for residents and visiting family.
Important financial and local facts are set out plainly: the property is leasehold (very long lease remaining), the annual service charge is high and the ground rent is payable. The development sits in a busy Gosforth location with good bus links and local shops nearby, but the area statistics note higher crime levels and local deprivation factors—buyers should weigh the safety and budget implications alongside the on-site care benefits.
This apartment suits someone seeking an established retirement setting with on-site services and communal life. It will appeal to downsizers who prioritise support and convenience, though prospective purchasers should budget for substantial service charges and consider parking availability under the permit scheme.
