A bright, modern two-bedroom apartment on the second floor of a well-kept Duke Street development. The open-plan living space with breakfast bar and integrated appliances gives a contemporary, low-maintenance feel suited to first-time buyers or professional couples. Natural light and double glazing make the living area welcoming while the kitchen and bathroom are finished in a contemporary style.
Practical details are straightforward: lift and stair access to all floors, gas central heating, EPC B and no onward chain. The flat is compact at 465 sq ft but laid out as two double bedrooms, ideal for those prioritising location over expansive room sizes. The 99-year lease remaining is typical for newer blocks, but buyers should note leasehold implications.
Location is a major selling point — close to the Ferry Landing and the riverside, with Tynemouth’s beaches, cafés and shops a short trip away. Public transport links are strong and mobile signal is excellent. However, the immediate area records higher crime and marked deprivation; purchasers should consider local conditions and safety when viewing.
Ongoing costs include an annual service charge of around £2,580 and ground rent of £100 per year. These communal service costs support building upkeep and lift maintenance but add materially to running costs. Legal confirmation of lease and charges is advised before committing.
