This two-bedroom first-floor flat in North Shields offers a roomy 748 sq ft layout with bay-window character and modern comforts. The accommodation includes a spacious lounge with dining area, fitted kitchen, stylish bathroom and a sunny private rear yard — ready for immediate vacant possession. The long lease (956 years) and mains gas central heating provide ownership security and everyday practicality.
Well suited to first-time buyers or investors, the property sits in an affluent, aspirational urban neighbourhood with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and good local amenities including shops, cafes and transport links to the coast. The floorplan’s efficient layout and EPC in the B/C range help reduce running costs, while on-street parking and a small front forecourt add convenience.
Buyers should note some practical considerations: the flat is leasehold, the building has cavity walls assumed without insulation, and the area records above-average crime levels. The property is on the first floor (stair access), so it may not suit those needing step-free access. Nearby schools vary in Ofsted rating — several are good, while a couple require improvement.
Overall, this Victorian-style mid-terrace flat combines period character with modern fixtures and immediate occupancy potential. It represents a straightforward purchase for a couple, first-time buyer or landlord seeking a mid-sized, well-connected flat with room to personalise.
