Affordable seaside starter with garden and strong connectivity.
Two bedrooms on first floor with 710 sq ft overall
Set on the first floor of a Victorian terraced building, this two-bedroom flat offers an affordable entry into coastal South Shields living. The spacious lounge and adjacent kitchen diner provide flexible living space, while French doors and natural light create a welcoming feel. The private rear yard is a rare outdoor bonus for a first-floor flat.
The apartment will suit first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking a low-price, long-lease opportunity near the seafront and local transport links. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working or tenant appeal. Council tax is very cheap, helping to keep running costs low.
The property is dated and will need updating; mid-20th-century finishes and small room proportions mean renovation is likely to unlock value. The wider area is classified as deprived, and the immediate locality is described as constrained for renters — factors to weigh for long-term capital growth and letting prospects. Crime levels are average.
Practical positives include a 999-year lease (leasehold), no flooding risk, and proximity to several well-rated primary and secondary schools. For buyers prepared to invest time and budget into refurbishment, this flat offers accessible coastal living and clear scope to increase value.
