Apartment 17 Kenton Lodge,Kenton Road,NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE,NE3 4PE
NE3 4PE
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
First-floor one-bed retirement apartment with terrace and in-house support.
South-facing private terrace overlooking communal gardens and Town Moor
A bright, first-floor one-bedroom apartment in Kenton Lodge tailored for over-70s living. The south-facing terrace overlooks well-kept communal gardens and Newcastle’s Town Moor, offering a peaceful spot for morning sun and fresh air. The open-plan living/dining room with French doors and a fitted kitchen makes daily living straightforward and sociable. The generous double bedroom includes a large walk-in wardrobe; the wet room provides accessible showering facilities.
Kenton Lodge is a modern assisted-living development (built 2016) with lift access, a concierge, communal lounges and an in-house restaurant serving affordable meals—helpful for residents who value community and optional support. The apartment is chain-free, sold on a long lease (990 years), and has good mobile and fast broadband connectivity.
Notable costs and local considerations are clear: an annual service charge of £9,212.76 and ground rent of £435 per year make this a relatively expensive running-cost proposition for a leasehold apartment. The wider area shows higher crime and local deprivation indicators, which may affect perceptions of safety and long-term resale. Council Tax is band D (moderate).
This home suits someone seeking independent retirement living with on-site support and social amenities, who prioritises comfort and convenience over low-running costs. It offers easy accessibility, low-maintenance communal grounds, and the security of purpose-built retirement facilities, but buyers should budget for the service charge and be comfortable with the local area profile.
