This two-bedroom first-floor flat on Seymour Street offers solid space and period character at an entry-level price. High ceilings and generous natural light create an airy feel; the living room’s feature fireplace is a focal point and suits a range of layouts. The kitchen is fitted and the bathroom is a good size with a modern white suite. A private rear yard provides low-maintenance outdoor space.
The property is presented as a straightforward first purchase or buy-to-let opportunity, with compact rooms across approximately 648 sq ft and easy access to North Shields town centre, Metro and bus links.

Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the flat is leasehold, carries an EPC rating of E, and sits in an area classified as very deprived with a high local crime rate. Those factors will affect mortgage availability, running costs and rental demand. Council tax is very low, and mobile and broadband connectivity are strong. Some cosmetic updating and investment may be needed to maximise value and rental returns.
