Summary - 61 MILLFORD GATESHEAD NE10 8JJ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable starter home with private paved garden and low running costs.
One-bedroom first-floor flat, approximately 614 sq ft
Priced for affordability, this one-bedroom first-floor flat in Millford offers 614 sq ft of straightforward living space ideal for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let starter. The living room is a generous size, the kitchen includes an integrated oven, and the shower room has an oversized walk-in cubicle — all ready for immediate use. A private paved rear garden provides an outdoor spot for coffee or drying laundry, while a shared front garden adds kerb appeal.
Practical running costs are a positive: mains gas boiler heating, double glazing, and a very low council tax band. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, useful for working from home or streaming. The lease has around 89 years remaining — typical for an older conversion but something to budget for if you plan longer-term ownership.
Be clear on the local context: this is in a very deprived area with above-average crime rates and a community profile of constrained young families. Transport links and local shops are close by, and several primary schools nearby are rated Good. These factors make the flat suitable for buyers prioritising price, convenience and basic comfort rather than quiet prestige.
For anyone seeking upgrade potential, the property’s post‑war construction and simple layout mean straightforward cosmetic improvements could increase value. Conversely, buyers seeking a low-risk neighbourhood or long lease should note the social and tenure considerations upfront.
