Light, low-maintenance and well-located, this first-floor two-bedroom apartment suits buyers looking to downsize without sacrificing convenience. Built in 1996, the home is presented in good decorative order and benefits from double glazing, a gas combi boiler and a pleasant bay-windowed lounge that receives good natural light.
Practical features include a designated parking bay plus visitor spaces, communal gardens, and easy access to West Monkseaton Metro, local buses and a nearby Sainsbury’s — strong everyday transport and shopping options for independent living. The layout is compact (approximately 441 sq ft) with two bedrooms and one bathroom, making heating and upkeep straightforward.
The long lease (999 years from 1995; about 969 years remaining) and a peppercorn ground rent are clear ownership advantages. A service charge of approximately £1,244 per year covers gardening, communal cleaning and building insurance — factor this into ongoing costs. Council Tax is Band B (relatively low).
Suitability: ideal for downsizers or those seeking a low-maintenance permanent home close to transport and amenities. Note the property’s overall footprint is small and accommodation is compact; the single bathroom and modest kitchen may feel tight for those needing more space or entertaining frequently.
