Set within a purpose-built red-brick development for the over-55s, this first-floor two-bedroom flat offers practical, low-maintenance living close to South Gosforth metro and local shops. The flat faces communal gardens and features a fully fitted kitchen, a modern replacement shower room and one bedroom with fitted wardrobes — ready to move into for immediate occupation.
Practical details suit downsizers and retirees: level access, lift, wide doorways and a layout suitable for wheelchair users. Residents benefit from communal gardens, on-site laundry, an in-house manager and off-street parking, making daily life straightforward and convenient.
Buyers should note the material facts: the lease has 85 years remaining and will need prompt attention to avoid complications; the annual service charge is £2,684 (includes building insurance and ground rent); heating is via electric storage heaters which can be costlier than gas alternatives. There are also on-site restrictions (no pets, no boats/caravans) and local crime levels are reported as high — factors to consider for long-term comfort and security.
Overall this is a compact, well-presented retirement apartment offering easy access to transport and local amenities. It suits a buyer seeking comfortable, low-maintenance living in a well-located communal development, provided they are aware of the lease length and running costs.
