Summary - 36, DAVID STREET, WALLSEND NE28 8RA
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable ground‑floor two‑bed with private garden — long lease, close to transport.
Chain‑free with 999‑year lease from 1995 (969 years remaining)
This ground‑floor two-bedroom flat on David Street offers an affordable entry into Wallsend with a private rear garden and long lease. The layout is flexible — use as two bedrooms or one bedroom plus two reception rooms — making it suitable for first‑time buyers or buy‑to‑let investors seeking a straightforward, low‑cost purchase.
The property is chain‑free and comes with a 999‑year lease from 1995 (969 years remaining) and no ground rent. Practical positives include double glazing (installed post‑2002), mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, a fitted kitchen, and fast mobile and broadband connectivity. Council tax is Band A, keeping ongoing costs low.
The flat is compact and would benefit from some modernisation to maximise appeal and rental or resale value. The building is an early–mid 20th‑century brick terrace with cavity walls that appear uninsulated — consider upgrading insulation and internal finishes to improve comfort and the Energy Performance Rating (currently D).
Be candid about the area: Wallsend shows higher local deprivation and elevated crime levels compared with national averages. That said, the location is practical — shops, bus routes and a nearby Metro station are within easy reach, making commuting and local errands simple. An on‑site inspection is recommended to confirm room sizes and condition before committing.
