Summary - THE GRAINGER 44 NORTH WEST SIDE GATESHEAD NE8 2BG
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact city-edge apartment with private balconies and allocated parking.
Riverside development with strong Quayside and river views
Set on the second floor of a modern riverside development in The Staithes, this compact two-bedroom flat offers bright open-plan living and genuine waterside outlooks. Floor-to-ceiling day-to-day space is well used: an L-shaped living/dining/kitchen opens onto a balcony with Quayside and river views, while the main bedroom benefits from its own private balcony. Allocated off-street parking and built-in storage add practical convenience for city-edge living.
The property will suit a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a low-maintenance, contemporary apartment with strong transport and digital connections. The flat is modest at around 431 sq ft, so rooms are best described as efficient rather than generous. Integrated kitchen appliances are included, but the heating relies on electric room heaters — there is no gas central heating — which can affect running costs.
Important considerations are the location context and tenure: the area scores as deprived with higher-than-average local crime, which may concern some purchasers and affect rental demand or insurance costs. The apartment is leasehold with about 127 years remaining; communal arrangements and service charges should be checked. Overall, the key attractions are the riverside position, private balconies and parking; viewings are recommended to appreciate the outlook and compact layout in person.
