Bright two-bed retirement apartment in central Morpeth; chain free but limited lease and high charges.
Top-floor retirement apartment with lift access
A rare top-floor, two-bedroom apartment in Silvas Court — a purpose-built retirement development for residents aged 60+. The corner position and larger-than-average kitchen give extra natural light and a more spacious feel than typical layouts. Practical communal facilities include lift access, residents’ lounge, guest suite, 24-hour emergency call system and an on-site House Manager.
The accommodation is bright and traditionally laid out: a large lounge/diner with corner windows, two double bedrooms, fitted kitchen and a modern shower room. Off-street parking is available on site and the property is sold chain free, making it straightforward for a prompt move.
Important lease and cost information: the lease length is reported as 66 years, a level that may prevent most lenders offering mortgages. Annual service charge (£4,700) and ground rent (£650.44) are higher than typical for many buyers and should be factored into affordability calculations. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity.
This apartment suits a retiree seeking an active, community-focused base in central Morpeth — close to shops, doctors and transport links. Prospective buyers should obtain independent legal and mortgage advice about the lease length, and budget for the above-average running costs and possible future modernization to decor and floor coverings.
