Set on Union Street in North Shields, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers practical urban living with a detached garage and store — a rare asset for central flats. The layout includes a large reception room, two well-proportioned bedrooms and a four-piece bathroom. With double glazing and gas central heating, the home is ready for immediate occupation or rental.
The long lease (970 years) and Council Tax Band C make the tenure straightforward for buyers and investors. The property sits between the Fish Quay and local amenities, providing easy access to shops, cafés, transport links and coastal walks. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Buyers should note the location is in a very deprived area with very high local crime levels; this will affect desirability and rental yields for some purchasers. The building appears externally sound, but the flat will benefit from standard internal modernisation in places — the communal conversion nature means no private garden and limited outdoor space.
Overall this apartment suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into North Shields or investors targeting central rental stock who value the detached garage and long lease. No chain is stated, allowing a potentially quick transaction.
