This purpose-built first-floor retirement apartment offers a comfortable, low-maintenance home for the over-60s in a sought-after Monkseaton location. Recently renovated throughout, the flat provides a roomy double bedroom, modern kitchen and updated bathroom, giving more space than many retirement units of this type.
Residents enjoy secure entry with intercom, a sociable communal lounge and well-kept communal gardens, ideal for meeting neighbours or relaxing outside. Local amenities are excellent and broadband speeds are fast, making the flat practical for keeping in touch with family and services.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is leasehold with 86 years remaining and is chain free, allowing a quicker completion. Heating is via electric storage heaters and electricity is the main fuel source, so running costs should be checked; the apartment is compact at about 410 sq ft and suited to single or couple downsizers rather than those needing extensive storage.
Overall, the flat combines modern presentation and community living with the convenience of nearby shops, transport and healthcare. It’s best for buyers seeking an independent, low-upkeep retirement home in a well-served urban neighbourhood.
