A vacant ground-floor, two-bedroom flat on Drummond Terrace offered by modern auction with clear renovation potential. The property sits in a late-Victorian mid-terrace and retains period features such as high ceilings, bay window and original skirting, but the interior requires comprehensive updating throughout.
Key practical strengths include a long 999-year lease being created, an external garage, low council tax (Band A) and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. The location suits both buy-to-let and owner-occupier buyers: local schools, green spaces and regular Metro links to Newcastle are all within easy reach, and the coast at Tynemouth and Cullercoats is a short drive or bus ride away.
Buyers should note this is a modern-method auction sale. A non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,000 incl. VAT) and a document pack fee (c. £300) apply. The property will be sold as seen and requires a prompt 56-day completion timetable once contracts are exchanged.
This is a straightforward renovation or rental opportunity for purchasers prepared to carry out works. The flat’s period proportions and long lease give scope to add value, but allow for the cost and time of refurbishment when assessing affordability and returns.
