Summary - 16 BLUE QUARRIES ROAD GATESHEAD NE9 6QT
3 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free, large three-bed upper flat with garden and parking — strong starter buy.
Chain free upper flat, ready to occupy or let
This deceptively spacious upper flat offers three well-proportioned bedrooms and a large living room across roughly 1,065 sq ft — strong space for a first home or starter investment at an affordable price. The property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing, off-street parking and a private rear garden; many rooms overlook Hodkin Park and there is easy access to Gateshead and Newcastle transport links.
Chain-free and competitively priced, the flat presents clear potential for someone seeking value: a fitted kitchen, modern bathroom and built-in storage including a cupboard housing the combi boiler. Council Tax sits very low (Band A), which helps running costs, and nearby schools include Outstanding and Good-rated options, convenient for young families.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with around 85 years remaining — buyers should check lease terms and any service charges. The wider area is classified as deprived with above-average local crime, which may affect longer-term capital growth and resale appeal. The building dates from the 1950s, so cosmetic updates or system checks (windows/boiler age not fully recorded) could be desirable after purchase.
Overall, this is a budget-friendly, chain-free three-bedroom upper flat that suits first-time buyers or investors looking for immediate occupancy or modest refurbishment to add value. The combination of size, parking and garden access sets it apart for the price, but due diligence on the lease and local factors is advised.
