Apartment 16 is a bright, contemporary one-bedroom retirement apartment in Gosforth, finished in 2022 and designed for low-maintenance living. The first-floor position includes a west-facing Juliette balcony and fitted flooring throughout, while the modern kitchen has integrated appliances and a separate utility cupboard for the washer-dryer. The development offers active communal life with a lounge, events calendar and a secluded patio for socialising.
This home suits downsizers seeking community security: an on-site manager is available during office hours, there is a camera entry system and the building benefits from low local crime and fast broadband. The property is offered as shared ownership (various shares available) or a 75% purchase option, with an example service charge of £275 pcm and a long lease (around 989 years remaining).
Practical points to note: heating is electric via room heaters rather than gas central heating, and the tenure is leasehold with shared ownership options, so monthly charges and ownership share affect running costs and long-term outlay. Energy performance is good (SAP up to 83), and there is no flooding risk.
Overall this is a modern, low‑upkeep retirement apartment in a leafy, well-connected part of Gosforth. It will appeal to older buyers prioritising community facilities, security and convenience, but those wanting gas heating or full outright freehold ownership should factor that into their decision.
