Ready-to-personalise two-bed near seafront and transport links.
Two-bedroom first-floor flat with open-plan sitting room and kitchen
This two-bedroom first-floor flat on Robert Street offers an affordable entry into South Shields, presented with neutral decor and ready for personal finishing touches. The sitting room opens into a kitchen with a small seating nook, creating a light, social living space, while the larger double bedroom includes fitted wardrobes for practical storage.
Practical features include ground-floor entry with rear-yard access and an under-stairs cupboard suitable for bikes or general storage. The property is freehold, has double glazing (install date unknown) and gas central heating via boiler and radiators — straightforward systems for a first-time buyer or investor.
Be clear about the work and context: the building dates from c.1900–1929 with solid-brick walls (likely uninsulated) and will benefit from targeted updating or insulation works to improve comfort and running costs. There is no private parking — only on-street spaces nearby — and the property sits in a more deprived area with average crime levels, which will affect long-term demand and resale considerations.
Location is a key draw: central South Shields position places shops, schools (including several Ofsted-rated good/outstanding schools), the seafront and Metro/bus links within easy reach. At this price point, the flat suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable coastal town base or landlords targeting rental income in a high-demand commuter area.
