Summary - Donkin Terrace, North Shields, Tyne and Wear, NE30 NE30 2HF
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Characterful two-bed flat with long lease and low running costs, ideal for first-time buyers..
Two double bedrooms and original period features
Set on Donkin Terrace, this two-bedroom flat blends original period character with practical modern upgrades. High ceilings and original fireplace mantels give living spaces atmosphere, while double glazing and gas central heating deliver everyday comfort. The layout suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a manageable property with rental potential in North Shields.
The apartment occupies an average-sized footprint (approx. 732 sq ft) within a solid-brick terrace built c.1900–1929. It includes a private rear yard, one bathroom, and on-street parking. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting modern working-from-home needs.
Buyers should note material considerations: the area scores as deprived with above-average crime levels and a local classification indicating hampered aspiration — factors that may affect resale or rental values. The building’s solid brick construction is likely uninsulated internally, so consider insulation and energy-efficiency improvements. The property is leasehold with a very long lease (c. 988 years) and low council tax, which are positives.
Overall, this is a straightforward, characterful flat for someone seeking an affordable entry into the market or an investment needing only cosmetic updating. Expect some scope for improvement (insulation, modern finishes) to maximise comfort and long-term value.
