Summary - 27 Moor Park House, Darras Drive, NORTH SHIELDS NE29 8AT
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable entry-level flat near shops, schools and transport.
Second-floor two-bedroom apartment, compact 614 sq ft
A tidy two-bedroom, second-floor apartment in a low-rise modern block on Darras Drive, offering a compact, practical layout for first-time buyers or buy-to-let owners. The living/dining room and fitted kitchen make efficient use of the 614 sq ft, while two double bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom complete the accommodation. Double glazing and gas central heating provide everyday comfort and efficiency; the property dates from the late 1990s/early 2000s and presents as low-maintenance.
Practical strengths include an allocated off-street parking space, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus easy access to local shops, schools and transport links toward Newcastle, the coast and the Tyne Tunnel. The apartment’s EPC C and Council Tax Band B support reasonable running costs compared with larger flats.
Notable considerations are that the home is leasehold (approximately 108 years remaining) with a ground rent of £250 and an average annual service charge of £1,409.56 — important for budgeting and long-term value. The overall floor area is modest, so buyers needing lots of living space should view with that in mind. Average local crime and a “comfortable neighbourhoods” local classification reflect a mainstream urban setting rather than a premium location.
This apartment suits someone seeking an affordable entry on to the property ladder or a straightforward rental opportunity in North Shields. A viewing and review of the lease and service charge accounts are recommended to confirm ongoing costs and communal arrangements.
