Summary - 176 RODSLEY AVENUE GATESHEAD NE8 4LB
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable two-bed upper flat with long lease and renovation potential, close to Gateshead and Newcastle..
Two-bedroom upper flat in Victorian mid-terrace (bay-front living room)
This two-bedroom upper flat occupies a mid-terrace Victorian building on Rodsley Avenue, offering a practical starter home or buy-to-let opportunity. The apartment has a bay-front living room, fitted kitchen with integrated hob and oven, shower room, and two bedrooms — all warmed by gas central heating and fitted with double glazing.
The long lease (999 years) and low council tax (Band A) reduce running costs, and the property currently has tenants in situ, which may suit investors. Its size (approx. 668 sq ft) and straightforward layout provide space to update and personalise without major structural change.
There are some clear trade-offs: the area is locally classified as very deprived with above-average crime rates, and the original solid-brick walls likely lack cavity insulation. The terrace shows period character but has visible renovation needs and potential damp signs; buyers should expect cosmetic and energy-efficiency improvements.
Practical features include a shared rear yard with lane access and plentiful on-street parking. Transport links are good for commuting into Gateshead and Newcastle, with local shops, schools and Saltwell Park close by. Viewings are recommended for those seeking an affordable entry-level purchase or a straightforward rental investment.
