- Off-street resident and visitor parking available

A well-presented, self-contained two-bedroom retirement apartment with its own private entrance and first-floor positioning. Newly renovated throughout, the home features sealed-unit double glazing, an updated shower room and a fitted kitchen with appliances — ready for immediate occupation.
Designed for independent retirement living, the development offers linked support via security pull cords and direct access to an on-site help centre, plus communal gardens for quiet outdoor space. Off-street resident and visitor parking and an entry-phone system add everyday convenience, while an EPC rating B and council tax band C help keep running costs reasonable.
Important practical points are clear: the property is leasehold with 78 years remaining — lenders may refuse mortgages when leases are under certain thresholds. Heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas, and the apartment is relatively compact at about 589 sq ft, which suits downsizers but limits extensive adaptation.
Situated on the corner of Darras Road and Broadway, the location places shops, cafés and regular bus routes within easy reach, with Ponteland’s wider amenities and good road links into Newcastle close by. For a buyer aged 60+ seeking a secure, low-maintenance base near local facilities, this apartment is a straightforward, move-in-ready option.
