This attractively presented one-bedroom apartment sits on the second floor of Kenton Lodge, a purpose-built assisted living development constructed in 2016. Occupying a pleasant corner position, the apartment benefits from a wrap-around balcony overlooking landscaped communal gardens, a bright lounge with French doors and a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. Lift and stair access add convenience for daily use.
Kenton Lodge is designed for over-70s who want independent living with the reassurance of on-site support. The development offers communal areas, a staffed in-house restaurant, social activities and optional care packages. The apartment is offered chain-free and has a very long lease (990 years), making it straightforward to purchase.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with a substantial annual service charge (£9,717.39) and ground rent (£435 p.a.), and Council Tax Band D. The surrounding area shows higher crime and wider area indicators of deprivation — factors to weigh against the building’s secure communal environment and excellent local amenities near Gosforth High Street. EPC rating C and modern construction reduce immediate maintenance risk, but the high service charge reflects the level of communal services provided.
This property will suit a purchaser seeking easy, low-maintenance living in a sociable retirement setting who accepts higher ongoing service costs in exchange for on-site facilities and care options. Immediate possession is available, and the apartment is presented in move-in condition.
