A confident first-time purchase or rental investment, this upper-floor three-bedroom flat on Birchington Avenue pairs period charm with practical modern updates. The bay-windowed front bedroom and lounge retain original cornices and a feature fireplace, while a contemporary kitchen and four-piece bathroom provide everyday comfort. The flat is sold freehold with vacant possession and no onward chain, so completion could be straightforward.
Rooms are well-proportioned for the overall size (approximately 754 sq ft) and the flexible layout allows use of the front room as a second reception or bedroom, depending on needs. There’s a private rear yard and a brick outhouse ideal for bikes or storage. Double glazing and a gas combi boiler supply efficient heating, and broadband/mobile coverage in the area is good.
This property will suit buyers who want a ready-to-live-in home they can gradually personalise rather than a turnkey showhome. The flat sits on a residential street with direct access to West Park and easy access to shops, schools and bus routes. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low.
Be aware of a few practical considerations: the surrounding area records above-average crime, and the property, constructed 1900–1929, may show age-related maintenance needs. Early viewing is recommended if you’re looking for a value entry into South Shields with scope to add your own style.
