Affordable first home or buy-to-let near Fish Quay and Metro links.
Bright one-bedroom first floor flat, c.549 sq ft practical layout
A well-presented one-bedroom first-floor flat in a central North Shields spot, offered via online auction. The apartment sits above a ground-floor commercial frontage in an early 20th-century building and provides a bright living room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom and modern three-piece bathroom. At roughly 549 sq ft, the layout offers a practical, low‑maintenance home or a straightforward rental unit.
Location is the key asset: moments from North Shields town centre, the Fish Quay and local shops, with North Shields Metro Station and bus links close by. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit commuters and tenants. On-street parking is available immediately outside and there is no flood risk for the area.
Important points to note: the property is leasehold and will be sold at auction — bidders must accept auction terms. The immediate neighbourhood scores as very deprived with a very high crime level; buyers should research local crime statistics and rental demand carefully. Council tax band is not provided. The building has mixed commercial/residential use; maintenance and communal responsibility should be checked prior to bidding.
Overall this flat offers an affordable entry into the North Shields market with clear investor appeal given location and rental demand, but it suits buyers who can accept auction sale conditions, a leasehold tenure, and the realities of a high-crime, deprived local area.
