This first-floor, purpose-built apartment offers practical, affordable living close to Gateshead and Newcastle transport links. The 23' open-plan lounge/kitchen creates a light, sociable space with a front picture window; the layout suits first-time buyers or couple households seeking low-maintenance accommodation. Built in the early 2000s with double glazing, the block benefits from a secure entry system and allocated parking in tended communal grounds.
The principal bedroom includes a convenient en suite shower/WC and there is a separate bathroom with bath and shower mixer. The kitchen has fitted wall and base units, a split-level oven and plumbing for a washing machine. Gas central heating is not present — heating is by electric room heaters and storage heaters — and the EPC is rated C, so running costs should be considered against the low purchase price.
This is a leasehold property with a modest overall size (approximately 719 sq ft). The immediate area is classified as an ageing urban community with higher-than-average crime and local deprivation indicators, although the location gives excellent road and public transport access and nearby highly rated schools. The flat is best suited to first-time buyers, buy-to-let investors aware of tenancy demand, or people looking to downsize into a secure, low-upkeep home.
Buyers should note the reliance on electric heating and typical leasehold obligations; the apartment is presented as serviceable rather than recently renovated, offering potential to modernise fittings and personalise finishes. For those prioritising affordability, transport links and a ready-to-live-in layout, this property presents strong value at the listed price.
