Set on the first floor with elevated views over the Derwent valley, this two-bedroom flat has been renovated to a very high standard and is offered with vacant possession and no forward chain. A modern kitchen and bathroom, new gas combi boiler, double glazing and a feature living room window make the accommodation bright and move-in ready. The detached garage provides private parking or useful storage — a rare benefit for a flat.
The home is compact at around 501 sq ft, so it suits first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a low-maintenance property close to local amenities. There is a shared rear yard and communal green, and Consett town centre is about 1.5 miles away with good road links to Durham and Newcastle via the A691. Council tax is low and the annual service charge and ground rent are modest.
Practical points to note: the flat is leasehold with 106 years remaining — buyers should be comfortable with leasehold ownership. The property sits within a coal mining reporting area, so further searches may be recommended. While the vendor is not aware of building safety problems, a chartered survey is advised to confirm condition before purchase.
Overall this is a neatly finished, compact first-floor flat with good transport links, strong move-in appeal and useful garage space. It will particularly appeal to buyers wanting an immediately habitable property with low running costs, but those requiring larger living areas or freehold ownership should note the size and tenure.
