Apartment 33 Kenton Lodge,Kenton Road,NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE,NE3 4PE
NE3 4PE
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Spacious two-bedroom retirement apartment with balcony, lift access and community facilities, available chain free..
Chain free second-floor apartment with lift access
This attractively presented two-bedroom apartment on the second floor of Kenton Lodge offers purpose-built assisted living for the over-70s. Built in 2016, the apartment was a former show flat and benefits from a large living room with French doors opening onto a private balcony overlooking landscaped communal gardens. Lift and stair access, a generous master bedroom with built-in wardrobes, and a walk-in storage cupboard make day-to-day living comfortable and practical.
Residents at Kenton Lodge have access to a strong community environment with flexible care packages available, an on-site restaurant serving reasonably priced lunches, and multiple communal areas that include original period features within the development. The long lease (991 years) and chain-free sale provide security and immediate possession for buyers wanting a settled move.
Notable running costs are significant: an annual service charge of £13,161.96 and ground rent of £510 pa. Council Tax is Band E (above average). The local area records higher crime and some social deprivation indices, which buyers should weigh alongside the communal support and on-site services. The apartment has a single wet room rather than an en suite layout.
This property suits downsizers seeking a ready-made, sociable retirement setting with built-in assistance options and strong communal amenities. It will particularly appeal to buyers prioritising convenience, community and a low-maintenance apartment, but those sensitive to high service charges or local area crime statistics should consider the total cost and location factors carefully.
