1 bedroom apartment for sale

This GROUND FLOOR ONE BEDROOM apartment with direct access on to communal gardens is situated within this McCARTHY STONE Retirement Living development, built in August 2021 and is situated closed to local amenities including Hexham General Hospital, shops and the bus station.

Hewson Court - Hewson Court was purpose built by McCarthy & Stone for retirement living. The development consists of 43 one and two-bedroom retirement apartments for the over 60s. For peace of mind, there is a House Manager on site and a 24-hour emergency call system provided via a personal pendant alarm and with call points in the bathroom and hallway.
The apartment is all electric and the meter is an Economy 10 giving 10 hours of Off Peak electricity. There is a ventilation system throughout the development which draws fresh air in from the outside.

Local Area - The town's residents adore the weekly farmers' market in the town centre, which is only a short stroll from the development. Here, you can purchase everything from plants and flowers to decorate your apartment to bread and sweets. The market is held on Tuesdays from 9am to 4pm but, on other days of the week, a small number of market stalls sell goods on the Shambles.
It's simple for the family to come and visit, too. The A69 provides direct access to Newcastle and Carlisle, while the nearby rail network provides good links to towns and cities throughout the region. Newcastle can be reached in 33 minutes by train, while Sunderland and Durham can both be reached in just under an hour.
If you like to take a stroll and explore away from the development, then Hexham Abbey is the perfect choice. The abbey is over 1,300 years old and regularly welcomes people of all faiths who come to see the artefacts on display, including the Anglo-Saxon tombstone of a Roman soldier and The Phelps Organ.
If you're a lover of the great outdoors, then you'll love taking a walk in Sele Park. Here you'll find a number of woodland walks, an open expanse of grass and a traditional bandstand. The park and gardens also provide fun for all the family when they visit, as there's a skate park, a children's play area and public toilets.
The centre of Hexham contains all the amenities you'll need for a full and active retirement. You'll also find a number of independent retailers, as well as banks, cafes and restaurants, as well as known high street retailers such as WHSmith, Marks & Spencer and Next.
