Riverside Lodge is a purpose-built development of nineteen apartments, constructed in 1989, and professionally managed by Anchor Housing. Residents must be over 55 years of age. Services include external maintenance and a community alarm system.

This deceptively spacious apartment is on the first floor of Riverside Lodge, with level access from the front of the building, yet with the advantage of a lift. It is located close to the town centre, with local amenities in easy walking distance. It features views over the river Greta to Latrigg and the gracious gardens and recreation areas of Fitz Park are just outside the door. The apartment is in need of moderisation throughout, but located at the very end of the building giving it a good layout and bigger entrance. An opportunity not to be missed.
