Set on a classic Victorian terraced street in Jesmond, this ground-floor Tyneside flat offers two double bedrooms and just under 776 sq ft of living space. High ceilings, a bay-windowed living room and period cornice give the apartment character and a spacious feel uncommon in newer builds. The fitted kitchen and three-piece bathroom are serviceable and the property is ready to occupy or let.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (circa 971 years), mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing and a low council tax band B. The flat sits moments from Osborne Road’s cafés, shops and Jesmond Metro Station — strong for commuting, social life and rental demand. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are both good.
Buyers should note this is in a cosmopolitan, largely student neighbourhood: this brings excellent rental potential but can mean higher footfall and occasional noise. The property is solid-brick construction with no assumed wall insulation, so there may be opportunities to improve thermal efficiency. The rear outdoor space is a shared yard rather than a private garden.
This flat will suit first-time buyers seeking a characterful starter home and investors targeting steady rental income in a popular suburb. It offers immediate usability with clear scope for energy upgrades or cosmetic modernisation to increase value.
