Smartly updated urban home close to transport, shops and the coast.
Three-bedroom first-floor flat with private entrance
This well-presented first-floor three-bedroom flat in North Shields combines period character with modern finishes. It has a private entrance, high ceilings, a decorative fireplace in the living room and a contemporary fitted kitchen. The bathroom features underfloor heating and a shower-over-bath; two of the bedrooms are doubles and the third is currently used as a home office.
Sold with no upper chain and a very long lease (981 years), the property suits first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking a compact urban home close to local amenities, transport links and the coast. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and rentals.
Buyers should note the flat is small overall and forms part of a Victorian mid-terrace with solid brick walls likely lacking cavity insulation. The area shows higher-than-average crime levels and greater deprivation, and external space is limited to a shared rear yard with no private garden or allocated parking.
Overall this is an attractively presented, low-maintenance flat offered at an accessible price point. It presents immediate move-in potential with scope to increase value via targeted improvements such as insulation, heating upgrades or cosmetic redecoration.
