Hadrian House
Situated next to Hadrian’s Wall on the edge of
Newcastle, Hadrian House is definitely a place with some
history!
In the heart of Throckley, it has that real
‘village feel’ with shops and facilities nearby and a welcoming
local community - and with on-site parking and a bus stop right
outside, it couldn’t be easier to get into town or escape to the
beautiful Tyne Valley.
The scheme is close to local amenities such as
doctors, shops and community centres. It has an extensive social
calendar which makes use of the communal facilities.
The scheme comprises of 8 one-bedroom flats and 32 single person
apartments. Each flat has its own lounge, kitchen, bathroom and
bedroom. Each single person apartment has its own lounge/bedroom
combined, kitchen and bathroom.

Meet the Sheltered Housing Officer: Melanie Ward
"Hi my name is Melanie and I have been a Sheltered Housing
Officer for 4 years now. I have always enjoyed helping people and
was previously a Deputy Manager in an Older Persons home before
coming here - so I feel like I was able to bring lots of experience
with me when I came to Hadrian House.
"I’ve enjoyed learning all about the people and the area as it
is part of a very tight close-knit community and there’s a lovely
group of people living here.
"If I had to describe myself I would say I am quiet,
understanding and patient."
What will my
flat be like?
Each flat has its own lounge, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom(s).
The fitted kitchen has its own cooker and fridge supplied. There
are warden call alarm pull cords in each of the main rooms that
link each flat to the Sheltered Housing Officer or CCAS giving 24
hour cover in case of emergencies. Your warden will show you how to
use this equipment.
How much will it cost?
The average rent for a flat in a sheltered scheme is about £42
per week .The service will cost you about £11 a week. This does not
include the charge for general maintenance of the building such as
cleaning the shared areas. We include the cost of the service in
your rent. We will tell you if we change the charge and we try to
keep the cost as low as possible.
