Summary - 51 The Armstrong, Tynemouth Pass NE8 2GW
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Affordable modern two-bed with balcony, parking and good transport links.
Private balcony with river views
Modern two-bedroom apartment with clear commuter appeal, set on the Staithes development with pleasant river views from the private balcony. The open-plan living space maximises light and feels practical for everyday life, while the fitted kitchen and ensuite main bedroom add useful convenience for couples or sharers. Allocated off-street parking removes a common urban hassle.
This property is best suited to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking a low-maintenance home close to transport links and retail hubs such as Metrocentre and Team Valley. The block was built post-2012, has double glazing and a secure communal entrance, which reduces immediate maintenance worries compared with older stock.
Buyers should note material facts: the flat is leasehold (about 120 years remaining) and heated by electric storage heaters, which may affect running costs. The surrounding neighbourhood shows higher crime and deprivation indicators, and communal external amenity space is limited — there is no private garden. These factors are important for longer-term suitability and rental prospects.
Overall, the apartment offers an affordable city-edge option with river views, parking and straightforward living space. It represents a practical, relatively low-effort purchase for someone prioritising location and convenience, provided the tenure and running-cost factors fit their plans.
