Summary - Apartment 26 Kenton Lodge, Kenton Road, NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE NE3 4PE
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Purpose-built retirement apartment with on-site care and communal amenities.
South-easterly walk-out balcony overlooking landscaped communal gardens
Bright, well-proportioned first-floor retirement apartment with a south-easterly walk-out balcony overlooking landscaped communal gardens. The open-plan living area feels airy and benefits from large windows and an electric stone-effect fireplace, while the fitted kitchen includes raised-level appliances for easier use. The development offers communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, restaurant, conservatory and guest suite, plus mobility scooter storage and convenient bus stops only yards away.
This is a purpose-built retirement scheme with an on-site Estates team, 24-hour emergency call system, and bespoke care packages available. One hour of domestic support per week is included in the service charge, and full-fibre broadband and electric underfloor heating provide modern convenience. The long lease (nearly a millennium remaining) offers ownership security for the long term.
Notable costs and local context are important to balance against the facilities: the annual service charge is substantial and covers many communal services and care provisions, and there is an annual ground rent and parking permit fee where available. The wider area statistics show higher local deprivation and crime levels; prospective buyers should visit at different times and check parking availability with on-site management.
This home suits someone aged 70+ looking to downsize to a managed retirement environment with on-site support and communal life, who values garden views and easy transport links. It offers low-maintenance living and practical accessibility features, although the ongoing service charge and local area considerations should be weighed when budgeting.
