Modern two-bed apartment with parking and excellent transport links, suited to first-time buyers.
Two bedrooms, about 679 sq ft
This two-bedroom apartment on Worsdell Drive offers practical city-edge living with easy access to Newcastle and Gateshead centres. At about 679 sq ft, the layout includes a lounge/diner opening to an integrated kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The building dates from the mid-2000s and benefits from double glazing, a lift, and allocated off-street parking.
The property suits first-time buyers or professionals who prioritise transport links and low-maintenance living. Central Station is a short commute across the bridge, and local bus routes and amenities are within easy reach. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working and streaming.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the flat is leasehold with 105 years remaining, heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, and the wider area records higher crime and relative deprivation. There is no flood risk, and Council Tax is in an affordable Band C.
For investors or those seeking a starter home, the apartment’s location in a student-and-commuter neighbourhood supports rental demand, while the modern build and integrated kitchen reduce immediate maintenance work. However, consider long-term running costs of electric heating and the implications of the local area profile before proceeding.
