The open-plan reception and contemporary kitchen are ideal for modern everyday living, while skylights and large windows maximise natural light and the sense of space. The double bedroom includes fitted wardrobes for storage. The property is offered chain free with a long 244-year lease, making it straightforward to buy.
Practical running costs and communal arrangements are important here: heating is provided via a community scheme, the service charge is £1,800pa and ground rent £150pa. The apartment sits in a well-maintained modern development with lift access, secure entry, communal gardens, an external cycle store and off-street permit parking.

Overall, this is a contemporary, low-maintenance flat that suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking waterfront location with easy access to the Fish Quay and Tynemouth beaches.
