Summary - 151 SIMONSIDE TERRACE NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE NE6 5LF
3 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free three-bedroom flat near Chillingham Road Metro; investment potential with some updating required..
Chain-free three-bedroom first-floor flat, 748 sq ft
A chain-free, three-bedroom first-floor flat in Heaton, well placed for Chillingham Road Metro and local amenities. The building dates from the early 20th century and retains period features such as bay windows and high ceilings, giving scope to enhance character while improving finishes.
The flat benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and a very long lease (approximately 972 years remaining). At 748 sq ft the accommodation is compact but practical: lounge, kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom. There is a shared rear yard and council tax is low (Band A), both helpful for running costs.
Practical drawbacks are clear and factual: the property needs modernisation in parts, has an EPC rating of D, and sits in an area with above-average crime rates. The walls are likely original solid brick (no built-in insulation) and some cosmetic and energy-efficiency upgrades would be required to maximise long-term value or rental income.
This flat will suit investors and buyers looking for an affordable entry into Heaton — particularly students or young professionals wanting proximity to transport and amenities. It also offers renovation upside for a buyer prepared to update heating efficiency and interiors to improve comfort and returns.
