The listed price of £162,500 seems reasonable considering the location in desirable North Jesmond. Comparing it to similar nearby properties (though sqft data is missing) suggests it’s competitively priced, especially given the over-55s retirement aspect which will appeal to a specific market segment. The absence of square footage data makes a precise price-per-square-foot analysis impossible, which slightly reduces the score.

Based on the photographs, the property appears to be in good, clean condition. While it’s not brand new, it’s well-maintained and seems to be in move-in ready condition. The fixtures and fittings seem in good working order, although some updating might be desired by future owners to meet contemporary preferences. This warrants a mid-range score.

The property is situated in North Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne, a highly desirable and prestigious residential area known for its excellent schools, transport links, and local amenities. Adderstone Crescent itself is a particularly sought-after street. The proximity to Jesmond Dene and good schools significantly boosts its desirability and score.

The property benefits from access to communal gardens, as shown in the photos. While residents have access to a pleasant green space, there is no private garden attached to the apartment itself. Hence, a moderate score reflecting the presence of communal, shared green areas is appropriate.
