Summary - 135, Grey Street NE30 2EQ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Spacious period flat with long lease, low council tax and outdoor space near schools and coast.
Approximately 793 sq ft living space, generous for a flat
Set on Grey Street in North Shields, this upper flat combines Victorian character with practical modern comforts. The property offers approximately 793 sq ft of living space, double glazing, and gas central heating — a solid base for a first home or buy-to-live purchase. The long lease (995 years) and very low council tax are notable ownership advantages.
The flat sits in a mid-terrace building dating from c.1900–1929 with original features such as a bay window and fireplace that bring period charm. There is a pleasant front garden and a private yard, adding outdoor space that’s unusual for flats in the area. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working or streaming.
A candid note on condition: exterior walls are solid brick with no installed cavity insulation (assumed), so adding insulation could improve energy efficiency. The listing information contains a discrepancy on bedroom count (some descriptions state one bedroom, others two); buyers should confirm the exact layout at viewing. The wider area mixes affluent pockets with “ageing urban communities” and local amenities include shops, cafes, supermarkets and good primary and secondary schools nearby.
Overall this is a characterful property with immediate liveability and clear potential for targeted improvements (energy efficiency, cosmetic updating) to add value. It will appeal to first-time buyers seeking space and period detail close to local services and the coast.
