Summary - Donkin Terrace, North Shields, Tyne and Wear, NE30 NE30 2HF
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright first-home near transport links and local shops.
Two double bedrooms with period fireplaces and high ceilings
Set within a mid-terrace building dating from the early 20th century, this two-bedroom apartment blends original character with practical modern comforts. High ceilings and period fireplaces give the living spaces atmosphere, while double glazing and gas central heating provide everyday efficiency. The private rear yard is a useful outdoor space for a city location.
The long lease (c.988 years) and low council tax make this an affordable ownership option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, and local bus and Metro links give straightforward access to Newcastle and the coast. Shops, cafes and a mix of leisure amenities are all within easy reach.
Buyers should note the area records above-average crime and is classed as deprived; sensible security measures and awareness of local conditions are advisable. The building’s solid brick walls likely lack modern cavity insulation, which could mean higher heating demand unless upgraded. On-street parking only — there is no allocated off-street space.
Overall, the property offers a solid, characterful home with clear potential to personalise and improve energy performance. It suits someone seeking an affordable entry into the market or an investor targeting rental demand close to transport and local schools.
