Large five-bed first-floor maisonette with long lease and good transport links, in need of renovation.
Five bedrooms across two levels, good rental potential
A substantial five-bedroom first-floor maisonette on Chirton West View offering clear rental and refurbishment potential. The layout provides five double bedrooms across two levels, a spacious living room with period fireplace, a basic kitchen and a single bathroom — a practical canvas for a buy-to-let investor or a buyer prepared to modernise.
Key benefits include mains gas central heating, double glazing, a private rear yard and an exceptionally long lease (circa 966 years). The property sits in a well-connected North Shields location with good local shops, schools rated Good nearby, frequent transport links to Newcastle and easy access to Tynemouth beaches — features that support strong tenant demand.
Important negatives are straightforward: the flat needs modernisation throughout, there is only one bathroom for five bedrooms, and the building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation. The local area scores as deprived and internal decor and services are dated, so factor in refurbishment costs and a period refurbishment programme.
For an investor this is a value-led opportunity with low council tax banding and fast broadband/mobile signal, allowing quick lettability after improvement. For an owner-occupier or family willing to renovate, the generous bedroom count and long lease offer long-term flexibility.
