Period character meets modern fixtures in a compact, accessible city-edge apartment.
Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment with mezzanine second bedroom or office
A well-presented two-bedroom ground-floor apartment in the converted Wills Building, combining period Art Deco character with modern fixtures. The living area benefits from high ceilings and a mezzanine that provides flexible second-bedroom or office space, while both bedrooms have en suite shower rooms and fitted storage. Allocated residents' parking and level access make day-to-day life straightforward.
Practical details suit first-time buyers or professionals: a long lease (972 years remaining), mains gas central heating via a community scheme, UPVC double glazing and an EPC rating of C. The apartment is compact at about 603 sq ft, with clear communal running costs — an annual service charge of £2,325.47 (includes building insurance) — and ground rent included within that charge.
Notable restrictions and checks: the lease prevents sub-letting and holiday use, which limits buy-to-let or short-term rental options. A regional mining search is recommended due to local mining heritage. Overall, this is a low-crime, well-connected property with easy access to Newcastle city centre and the coast, offering period charm and convenient modern living for owner-occupiers.
