A two-bedroom upper terraced flat offering 937 sq ft of large-feeling accommodation in a Victorian mid-terrace on Northcote Street, South Shields. Period features such as high ceilings and a decorative fireplace sit alongside a modern fitted kitchen and a separate dining/sitting area — a practical layout for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
The property includes a private rear yard and benefits from good local connections: shops, bus and train links, and a broad range of amenities are all within walking distance. Nearby primary and secondary schools include Good and Outstanding Ofsted-rated options, making the location suitable for young families or professionals.
This is a leasehold sale at a low asking price, reflecting both the value potential and the local area’s wider economic profile. The building is solid-brick (likely uninsulated) with double glazing installed before 2002; expect improvement works to insulation and potential modernisation to improve energy efficiency and comfort.
Overall, the flat presents a budget-entry opportunity for buyers prepared to invest modestly in thermal upgrades and cosmetic updating. It offers immediate occupation with sensible scope to add value through targeted renovation and improved insulation.
