Summary - DRYDEN COURT 46 DRYDEN ROAD GATESHEAD NE9 5BY
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Second-floor over‑55s apartment with lift, communal gardens and parking.
Second-floor one-bedroom apartment in over-55s development
Comfortable second-floor one-bedroom apartment in a purpose-built over-55s development, offered with vacant possession and no onward chain. The well-proportioned living/dining room and double bedroom face well-kept communal gardens, and the building provides lift access, a residents' lounge, guest suite and off-street parking — practical benefits for visitors and downsizers.
The apartment extends to about 539 sq ft and includes a fitted kitchen, shower room and a useful walk-in storage cupboard housing the hot water tank. Heating is via electric storage and wall heaters; the property has double glazing and a long residential lease (99 years remaining), making it straightforward for leaseholders to manage.
Notable considerations: the property is leasehold and relies on electric heating, which can be more expensive than gas. Some fittings and décor are dated (kitchen and fireplace area), so buyers should expect minor cosmetic updating. There is no mention of service charges or ground rent in the particulars — these should be confirmed before purchase.
This apartment suits purchasers seeking a low-maintenance retirement base with communal facilities and easy access to local shops, Saltwell Park and public transport links. Early viewing is recommended to assess condition and running costs in person.
