Summary - HOMEFORTH HOUSE 42 HIGH STREET GOSFORTH NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE NE3 1LL
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Central retirement flat ideal for downsizers seeking local shops and transport links.
Top-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment with warden call system
Quietly set to the rear of Homeforth House, this top-floor one-bedroom apartment offers a low-cost entry into Gosforth’s sought-after High Street area. The flat is part of a retirement complex with a warden call system and secure entry, and benefits from off-street parking, communal gardens and easy walking access to shops, cafés and local transport.
The accommodation includes a spacious living room, fitted double bedroom with wardrobes, shower room and a kitchen already fitted with a dishwasher, fridge-freezer and induction hob. The block is well located for local amenities and good schools, and the neighbourhood is very affluent with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should note important practical issues: the lease has approximately 58 years remaining, which may prevent some mortgage lenders from lending, and the service charge is relatively high at around £3,238 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the apartment would benefit from modernization to bring fittings and decor up to current standards.
This property will suit a downsizer or retiree seeking a central, low-maintenance base in Gosforth who accepts an as-is flat with clear renovation potential. Budget-conscious buyers should factor in possible lender restrictions, the annual service charge and planned upgrade costs when considering a purchase.
