Quiet, low-maintenance living is the focus of this first-floor, two-bedroom apartment designed for residents aged 55 and over. The layout offers a generous lounge with a Juliette balcony overlooking playing fields, a practical kitchen with built-in appliances, and two double bedrooms — a straightforward home for those wanting space without excessive upkeep. The building includes lift access, on-site manager support, communal gardens and resident parking, adding day-to-day convenience.
Practical details suit cautious buyers: the property is leasehold (125-year lease from 2007, c.103 years remaining), EPC rating C, and council tax Band A. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a gas central system, which keeps installation simple but may affect running costs. There is no known flood risk and the area is very affluent with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
This apartment is a good fit for buyers seeking an established, secure retirement setting with easy access to North Shields and Whitley Bay amenities and transport links. It is offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation, though buyers should budget for typical leasehold service charges and consider the long-term cost of electrical heating when comparing running expenses.
