Summary - Flat 4, 31, Washington Terrace NE30 2HG
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Large period flat near Fish Quay, ideal for first-time buyers or landlords.
Top-floor two-bedroom apartment with high ceilings and bay window
Large internal area — approx 921 sq ft (85.6 m²)
Modern fitted kitchen and family bathroom, ready to live in
Double glazing installed post-2002; mains gas boiler and radiators
Short-ish lease — ~80 years remaining; lenders may refuse mortgages
EPC rating D — potential to improve energy efficiency
Small enclosed front garden and on-street parking available
Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, very low council tax (Band A)
Top-floor Victorian conversion with generous rooms and coastal character, set within walking distance of North Shields Fish Quay and Tynemouth. The large lounge, two well-proportioned bedrooms and a modern kitchen give comfortable, flexible living for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. High ceilings, bay window and period façade add character while recent double glazing and a gas boiler provide practical comfort.
Practical benefits include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, mains gas central heating and very low council tax (Band A). The apartment’s layout and overall size (approx 921 sq ft / 85.6 m²) make it larger than many local flats, offering scope to personalise or reconfigure internally.
Key risks are material: the property is leasehold with about 80 years remaining — mortgage lenders may refuse to lend or impose stricter terms, and lease extension costs should be checked. The EPC is D and, while the flat is described as modern inside, buyers should confirm utilities, appliances and any communal maintenance responsibilities.
This home suits first-time buyers seeking space and coastal proximity, or landlords targeting the popular Tynemouth/North Shields rental market. Viewings are recommended to judge the apartment’s scale and to verify lease, service charge and condition details with a solicitor.
