Summary - 25 WESTBOURNE AVENUE GATESHEAD NE8 4NF
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable Victorian flat near Saltwell Park — ideal starter home or buy-to-let opportunity.
Two-bedroom first-floor flat, 671 sq ft
A two-bedroom first-floor flat in a Victorian mid-terrace, set just a short walk from Saltwell Park and Gateshead Leisure Centre. The 671 sq ft layout includes a lounge, two bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and a small rear yard — a practical plan for a starter home or rental unit. The property benefits from double glazing, mains gas boiler and radiators, and an EPC rating of C.
This is a clear value opportunity for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors: long leasehold (960 years remaining, peppercorn ground rent historically shown), low council tax band A and strong local transport links into Newcastle. The compact rooms and straightforward floorplan make the flat easy to let or to refurbish to add rental or resale value.
Buyers should note some material points: the building is Victorian solid brick with assumed no wall insulation, the area has above-average crime and is in a very deprived ward, and parts of the interior will need cosmetic updating or personalisation. Buyers and their solicitors must verify lease terms and all fixtures, fittings and services before exchange.
Overall this flat suits someone seeking an affordable entry onto the market or a landlord wanting a low-cost purchase with immediate letting potential close to parks, schools and local amenities. Modest investment in cosmetic works and insulation could improve comfort and long-term value.
