Set within the leafy Melton Park development in Gosforth, this stylish two-bedroom apartment combines low-maintenance living with practical amenities. The home features a dual-aspect sitting room opening to a balcony, a well-equipped kitchen, two good-sized bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom with a walk-in shower. A large rear garage with an electronic door and resident parking add useful private and communal parking options.
Long leasehold security (949 years remaining) and a low annual service charge make ownership straightforward; ground rent is included in the service charge. The building dates from the mid-20th century and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Well-maintained communal gardens contribute to the development’s quiet, suburban feel while keeping maintenance demands low.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: the EPC rating is D and broadband speeds are reported as slow. There are specific estate restrictions that prohibit pets, business use, sub-letting and parking of caravans/boats. Crime rates in the immediate area are above average and a mining search is recommended due to the region’s history. These factors affect suitability for some buyers, particularly investors planning short-term lets.
Overall, this apartment suits first-time buyers, professionals or downsizers seeking a comfortable, low-upkeep home within easy reach of central Gosforth and the A1. The combination of a long lease, private garage and pleasant communal grounds provide clear everyday advantages, while a measured refurbishment or broadband upgrade could add further value.
