Affordable two-bed apartment with parking and city views, sold at auction..
Two-bedroom upper apartment with superb open views
Offered for sale by online auction, this two-bedroom upper apartment in The Cedars provides an affordable entry into Newcastle with superb open views and direct access to the city centre. The living area flows into a modern fitted kitchen; two bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom complete compact, practical accommodation across 596 sq ft.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking bay, double glazing installed after 2002, an EPC rating of C and very low council tax (Band A). The 109-year lease remaining and sale under unconditional auction terms make this a straightforward purchase for buyers prepared to move quickly. Note the property cannot be let out, so it is unsuitable for buy-to-let investors.
Buyers should be aware of material context and service arrangements: the building is a system-built block (1967–75) with external insulation and a community biomass heating scheme. The immediate area is an urban, culturally mixed neighbourhood with high crime rates and significant area deprivation; purchasers should consider location-related safety and amenity implications.
This property suits first-time buyers, professionals or downsizers seeking low running costs, good connectivity (fast broadband, excellent mobile signal) and city living at a low price point. The apartment is presented in good decorative order but its compact size and communal building construction limit scope for major extension — potential buyers should inspect to assess condition and communal arrangements prior to bidding.
