Summary - 238 WHITEHALL ROAD GATESHEAD NE8 4PU
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable 2-bed flat with refurbishment potential and long lease.
Ground-floor two-bedroom flat, 819 sq ft
Set on Whitehall Road, this ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers a low-cost entry to Gateshead’s housing market. Priced at £70,000 with 819 sq ft of accommodation, the layout is practical: a front main bedroom, central living room, second bedroom, kitchen with direct access to a small shared rear yard, and a bathroom/WC.
The property benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating, plus long leasehold security (959 years remaining). Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, and the block sits in a very low-crime area close to local shops, schools and transport links — a sensible choice for first-time buyers or investors seeking rental potential.
The flat does require renovation throughout, with solid brick walls assumed to lack insulation and a general need for updating to modern standards. The communal rear yard is compact and there is no notable view. The location sits in a deprived area economically, which may affect long-term capital growth but supports strong rental demand and affordable purchase costs.
Overall, this is a straightforward value proposition: a spacious-feeling two-bedroom flat in a period terrace that will reward buyers willing to invest in refurbishment. Buyers should budget for modernisation work and consider insulation and heating improvements to raise comfort and energy performance.
