This chain-free two-bedroom apartment in Sanderson Villas offers an affordable entry into Gateshead with 562 sq ft of well-presented living space. The open-plan living/kitchen and modern finishes provide a ready-to-move-in home for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The development was built 2007–2011 and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Practical positives include an allocated off-street parking space, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and a remaining lease of approximately 103 years. The property is small but laid out efficiently with a master bedroom, a second double/single room and a family bathroom. Council tax is very cheap which helps running costs.
Be candid about location-related issues: the local area is classed as deprived and crime levels are very high, which will be an important consideration for families and long-term owner-occupiers. Service charge and ground rent are notable ongoing costs (c. £1,440 pa service charge and £400 pa ground rent). The apartment suits buyers seeking value, convenience and low initial upkeep rather than a quiet, low-crime neighbourhood.
Nearby amenities include primary schools with Good Ofsted ratings and local transport links, making the flat practical for students, professionals or those working in the wider conurbation. Buyers should review the lease details and communal management, and consider the area’s safety profile when viewing.
