Long lease — 967 years remaining
Recently renovated kitchen, bathroom and new carpets

A newly renovated two-bedroom ground-floor flat in a Victorian terrace, offered at an accessible price for first-time buyers. The interior has been refreshed with a modern kitchen and bathroom, new carpets and UPVC double glazing, making it move-in ready and low on immediate maintenance. Gas central heating with a boiler and radiators provides reliable warmth.
The property sits close to local amenities, regular bus routes and the A1, giving straightforward commuting to Gateshead, Newcastle and the Team Valley. At about 692 sq ft, the layout includes an entrance hall, lounge, two bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and a private rear yard — practical for small families or those seeking a rental let. Fast local broadband and very low council tax band A help running costs.
Important considerations: the home is in an area classified as very deprived with a high local crime rate, which may affect suitability for some buyers and resale prospects. The building is stone/solid-brick with no confirmed cavity insulation, so future energy-improvement works could be needed. The property is leasehold with a very long 967-year lease and is not at flood risk.
Overall, this flat represents an affordable entry into the local market with recent renovations and rental potential, but buyers should weigh neighbourhood challenges and potential retrofit costs when deciding to view.
