Set on a quiet no-through road off Heaton and Chillingham Roads, this upper-floor two-bedroom flat combines original Victorian character with practical modern upgrades. High ceilings, stained glass and stripped wood floors give the living spaces strong period appeal, while a recently refitted bathroom and gas combi heating make day-to-day life comfortable. The split-level lounge/diner provides versatile space for living and dining, and a skylit kitchen leads to a private, decked yard.
The flat is compact but well-proportioned at about 718 sq ft, making it suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a popular Heaton location close to cafés, transport links, universities and hospitals. The long Tyneside lease (959 years) and low council tax band add ownership certainty and running-cost advantages. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent and the area records low crime.
Buyers should note the property occupies an upper floor of a mid-terrace Victorian building; external outdoor space is a small, private rear yard rather than a garden. Walls are original solid brick with no known external insulation, and double-glazing install dates are unspecified, so further insulation or energy-efficiency improvements are possible (current EPC C). The neighbourhood’s student and professional mix brings vibrancy but can mean busier streets at peak times.
Overall this is a characterful, city-edge home with clear potential to personalise and improve energy performance, offered in a convenient, well-connected location.
