Summary - LORT HOUSE 222 SHIELD STREET NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE NE2 1YA
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable city-base near Metro and local amenities, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Sixth-floor two-bedroom apartment with lift and concierge
Situated on the sixth floor of a purpose-built block in Shieldfield, this two-bedroom apartment offers an affordable entry into Newcastle city living. Both bedrooms are doubles and the living area opens onto an internal balcony, bringing natural light into the compact, well laid-out accommodation. Building features such as lift access, secure entry and concierge add convenience and a sense of security.
The flat is presented in neutral, modern condition with a fitted kitchen and a contemporary bathroom; cosmetic updating would personalise the space and could increase rental or resale appeal. Energy performance shows room for improvement, so simple measures (insulation, efficient heating controls) could raise efficiency and running costs.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with around 83 years remaining and a low ground rent, and it sits in a neighbourhood with good transport links—Manors and Jesmond Metro are nearby—and plentiful local amenities. Note the local crime statistic is higher than average, which buyers should weigh alongside the added security of concierge and intercom systems.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers seeking an affordable city-base or investors targeting steady rental demand near universities and transport. The compact footprint and neutral finish make it straightforward to reconfigure and refresh, offering modest scope to add value through cosmetic works and energy improvements.
