This three-bedroom ground-floor maisonette offers practical, affordable living in a quiet cul-de-sac with well-kept communal grounds. The layout includes a generous living room with patio doors to a low-maintenance, south-facing rear garden and a kitchen with useful workspace. Two double bedrooms and a single bedroom suit a young family or first-time buyer needing flexible space.
Important ownership and local facts are straight to the point: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining and cannot be sub-let, so it is not suitable for buy-to-let investors. Council Tax band A and off-street parking keep running costs low. Broadband speeds in the area are slow and local crime rates are high — factor these into your plans.
The maisonette is compact at about 722 sq ft but feels larger thanks to the open aspect to the front and the open-plan feel between hallway, kitchen and lounge. Communal areas are well maintained, and the south-facing garden provides reliable sunlight with minimal upkeep. There is scope to modernise finishes if desired, which could increase comfort and value for an owner-occupier.
For first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into Newcastle with good transport links (easy access to the A1 and airport) this property is a practical option. Viewings will confirm condition and help prioritise any cosmetic updating or connectivity improvements.
