Summary - 8 Shotley Lodge, Queen Victoria Drive, Shotley IP9 1QN
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Bright two-bedroom apartment with marina access and panoramic River Stour views.
Dual-aspect estuary views from two balconies
Set on the first floor with direct frontage to the River Stour, this two-bedroom apartment offers calm coastal living and memorable estuary views from two balconies. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is bright and contemporary, fitted with quartz worktops and built-in appliances — a low-fuss layout well suited to downsizers or those wanting a comfortable seaside base.
Practical comforts include underfloor heating throughout, an ensuite to the principal bedroom, a four-piece bathroom and an allocated parking space with visitor access. Communal facilities useful to waterfront owners include a boot/boat room, bike store, bin store and private drying area, plus direct access to Shotley Marina for boating or waterside walks.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with a long lease (993 years), an average annual service charge of around £2,500 and a small ground rent (£150). The location has a high flooding risk, which will affect insurance and flood-preparedness measures. Broadband speeds in the area are slow, and heating is provided by a boiler with LPG fuel alongside the underfloor system.
Overall this is a well-presented, modern apartment with strong estuary appeal and practical facilities for marina life. It suits someone looking to downsize, live by the water, or add a seaside rental, provided they are comfortable with leasehold costs, flood risk considerations and slower internet speeds.
