This spacious upper maisonette sits over two floors in the heart of Whitley Bay, offered with no upper chain and a long 957-year lease (share of freehold). The property delivers three double bedrooms, a generous kitchen-diner, a large living room and a versatile study on the top floor — good size and layout for families or first-time buyers seeking space close to amenities.
Period features include a bay-windowed principal bedroom and a feature fireplace in the top-floor bedroom, while practical updates include double glazing installed after 2002 and mains gas central heating. The private rear yard with lane access is a useful outdoor space for storage, bikes or a small seating area.
The maisonette requires some updating: photos show dated finishes, worn carpeting and evidence of damp/mould in the living room that will need investigation and remediation. The building is solid brick (likely uninsulated as built), so buyers should budget for potential insulation, modernization and cosmetic works to bring the home fully up to contemporary standards.
Location is a strength — town centre position within walking distance of shops, transport links, cafes and several ‘Good’ rated schools, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Note local crime is above average; prospective purchasers should consider this when viewing. Overall, this is a roomy period property with clear potential for a buyer seeking value through renovation.
