Recently refurbished two-bedroom Tyneside flat on Jesmond Terrace offering long lease security and period character. High ceilings and bay windows bring light and space to rooms, while the modern kitchen and bathroom mean the flat is ready to move into. The property totals about 675 sq ft and sits within a popular Whitley Bay street close to the high street and seafront.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (circa 970 years), mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, and low council tax (Band A). Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working or digital lifestyles. Local schools rated Good provide options for families.
Important negatives are factual: the wider area shows high deprivation and very high recorded crime, which may concern some buyers or investors. The building is solid-brick with assumed lack of cavity wall insulation, so energy performance is modest (EPC D) and future insulation work could be needed. Although the flat has been modernised internally, the exterior shows signs of maintenance required.
This home will suit first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a move-in ready apartment with character and long lease security, and investors who understand the local market dynamics. Be realistic about local social challenges and potential costs to improve thermal efficiency or external maintenance over time.
