This one-bedroom, first-floor apartment sits within Queens Court, an over-55s development close to Brampton Park and the edge of Newcastle town centre. The flat is compact and well presented, with double glazing, electric heating and a fitted kitchen — suitable for an owner-occupier seeking a low-maintenance retirement home.
Residents benefit from landscaped communal gardens, dedicated off-street parking and straightforward access to local shops and transport links. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the property practical for everyday needs and staying connected with family and services.
Important practical points: the home is leasehold with 88 years remaining and an annual service charge of approximately £1,350. There is an age restriction (55+) and owner-occupier stipulation, and heating is electric, which may affect running costs. The local area records very high crime and wider area deprivation, which buyers should factor into location suitability.
Overall this apartment offers a compact, ready-to-live-in retirement option with communal amenities and nearby town facilities. It suits a buyer prioritising convenience and low upkeep, but consider the lease length, service charges and local area profile when deciding to view.
