2 bed 2 bath Apartment
No onward chain; allocated parking and communal garden, ideal for first-time buyers.
Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment with en-suite main bedroom
Set on the ground floor with no onward chain, this two-bedroom apartment offers straightforward access and practical living space for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The layout includes a spacious lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, main bedroom with en-suite, and built-in storage – useful for everyday convenience. Allocated parking, visitor bays and a small communal garden add private outdoor space and easy parking in a built-up area.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with 105 years remaining, a current ground rent of £150 rising to £300 in 2029, and a substantial service charge of about £2,120 per year. Heating is electric with room heaters rather than a gas central system, which may affect running costs. The building was constructed in the mid-2000s and benefits from double glazing and a lift, but some buyers may prefer to budget for updating or modernising finishes.
Situated in Dunston, the apartment sits close to shops, public transport links and larger retail hubs including the Metro Centre and Team Valley; mobile signal is excellent and broadband speeds are average. The local area has higher levels of deprivation and above-average crime statistics, so buyers seeking quieter, low-crime neighbourhoods should consider viewing other areas. Council tax is low (Band A), making the property cheaper to run in that respect.
