Spacious two-bedroom Tyneside flat near Fish Quay — ideal first home or rental.
Bay-front master bedroom with high ceilings and sash windows
A bright, ground-floor Tyneside flat with bay-front master bedroom and high ceilings, located a short walk from North Shields Fish Quay and local transport. The living room is light and spacious, complemented by a modern fitted kitchen, shower room and a private rear yard for outdoor space.
At about 803 sq ft, this two-bedroom flat offers roomy accommodation for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The property is solid-brick Edwardian construction (c.1900–1929) with double glazing installed before 2002, gas central heating and an EPC rating of C. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low.
Important points to note: the flat is leasehold, in a very deprived local area with very high recorded crime levels. The building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so further insulation or energy upgrades could be needed to improve comfort and reduce bills. The property is best suited to someone prepared to accept those location and fabric considerations in exchange for space, period features and proximity to amenities.
Nearby schools include several rated Good and some requiring improvement; local amenities, coastal walks and fast transport links add appeal. This is a straightforward, characterful flat with clear potential for improvement or rental return, balanced by material neighbourhood and maintenance considerations.
