Set over the second floor of a contemporary Ochre Yards development, this newly renovated two-bedroom apartment offers compact, modern living with clear rental appeal. The open-plan lounge and fitted kitchen flow to a decked balcony, while two bathrooms and an allocated parking space add practical convenience for sharers or tenants.
Positioned close to transport links and Newcastle city centre, the property sits in a cosmopolitan, multicultural neighbourhood popular with students and young professionals — a demographic that supports strong lettings demand. EPC B and fast broadband are further positives for energy efficiency and connectivity.
Buyers should note the apartment’s modest overall size (approximately 610 sq ft) and that heating is by electric room heaters, which can increase running costs compared with gas central heating. The area scores high for crime and is classed as deprived, factors that will be relevant for owner-occupiers and investors assessing long-term desirability and insurance/rental risk.
Practicalities: the flat is leasehold with about 103 years remaining, and a small ground rent (£195). Lift access, intercom entry and off-street allocated parking support easy management and tenant convenience. Overall, this is a low-maintenance, turn-key opportunity best suited to investors seeking a compact, well-presented rental in a busy student/professional market or buyers wanting a modern, low-upkeep home close to the city.
