Gas central heating and double glazing included

This first-floor two-bedroom flat on Wansbeck Road is a compact, chain-free investment with clear rental potential. The property sits within a Victorian mid-terrace and offers a simple, practical layout: open-plan living/dining, a fitted kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms, plus a private enclosed rear yard.
The flat benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband — practical features for tenants and buy-to-let appeal. The long lease (about 111 years remaining) and very low council tax reduce running costs. Local amenities, good transport links and several well-rated primary and secondary schools make the location convenient for a broad tenant profile.
There are notable maintenance and improvement considerations: the external yard and outbuilding appear dated and will need attention; the building has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation; the EPC is D. These factors point to scope for upgrading to increase energy efficiency and rental value, but also mean some immediate expenditure may be required.
Overall, this flat suits an investor or hands-on first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry with scope to add value through modest refurbishment and energy-efficiency improvements. The property is straightforward to manage and positioned in a comfortable neighbourhood with strong local amenities.
