A well-presented, purpose-built one-bedroom ground-floor retirement flat arranged around communal gardens and facilities. The apartment sits in a modern block designed for over-60s, with a house manager, residents’ lounge, guest room, laundry and emergency pull-cords for added peace of mind. The living room opens onto a small patio area within the communal garden, and the flat benefits from uPVC double glazing and fitted bedroom wardrobes.
Practical aspects are clear: the accommodation measures about 345 sq ft and includes a compact kitchen and shower room. Broadband is fast and the location places Monkseaton’s shops and Metro station within easy walking distance, with Whitley Bay promenade about 1½ miles away. Off-street communal parking and a low council tax band add to the low-maintenance appeal.
Be mindful of ongoing costs and size limits. The property is leasehold with about 108 years remaining, a ground rent of £243.61 (paid twice yearly) and an average annual service charge of about £2,600. Heating is electric (including a night-storage heater in the living room), which can increase running costs compared with gas.
This flat suits someone seeking a secure, low-upkeep retirement base close to local amenities and transport. It offers comfortable, modest accommodation with useful communal support, but limited internal space and notable service charges should be weighed against the convenience and on-site services.
