A well-positioned two-bedroom mid-floor apartment in the heart of Alnwick, designed for residents over 60. The layout is traditional and well appointed, with a bright sitting room, electric fireplace, fitted kitchen and two bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes. At approximately 723 sq ft, the apartment feels deceptively spacious for its size and is accessed via a secure entry.
Communal facilities are a strong practical benefit: a lounge for socialising and a guest suite for visitors (charges apply). The development sits within easy walking distance of shops, cafés, the castle, the Alnwick Garden and public transport links, giving convenient town-centre living and quick access to the coast and countryside.
Important practical points are clear and factual. The property is leasehold with around 109 years remaining; ground rent (£494 p.a.) and a relatively high service charge (£3,539.84 for Feb 2025–Feb 2026) apply. Parking is off-street but available on a first-come, first-served basis for an additional £250 p.a. Heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas, which affects running costs. The area reports higher crime levels than average, which should be considered alongside the communal security provisions.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance, centrally located retirement home with social facilities and easy local amenities. Buyers should budget for ongoing service charges, ground rent and potentially higher electricity bills due to the storage heaters.
