This well-presented first-floor flat offers three well-proportioned bedrooms and 733 sqft of accommodation, ready to move into. High ceilings and period features give character, while a private rear yard provides outdoor space unusual for a flat. Excellent transport links include nearby Metro and bus stations plus quick road access to the A19 and Tyne Tunnel.
Practical comforts include double glazing, mains gas boiler and radiators, and a long lease with a nominal ground rent. Council Tax Band A keeps ongoing costs low. The property suits first-time buyers, small families, or buy-to-let investors seeking good connectivity and straightforward rental appeal.
Buyers should note the location is in a very deprived area with above-average recorded crime; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on local safety and suitability. The solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated and the double glazing predates 2002, so there is potential for energy-efficiency improvements. EPC rating D reflects scope to reduce bills with targeted upgrades.
Overall this is a practical, affordable starter home or income purchase with strong transport links and clear scope for modest modernisation to increase comfort and value.
