This well-presented two-bedroom first-floor flat offers an affordable entry into Gateshead’s housing market. The apartment is ready to move into, with a fitted kitchen, modern bathroom, and a recently replaced gas combination boiler (September 2024), making it low-effort for immediate occupation or let-ready for investors.
At around 636 sq ft the layout provides comfortable living space: a spacious lounge and two double bedrooms. Practical running costs are supported by Council Tax Band A and an EPC rating of C. The block benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Location is a practical strength: easy access to metro stations, bus routes and main roads, plus a wide range of local shops, takeaways and amenities. Nearby schools include a Good-rated primary and several independent options, while the neighbourhood attracts students and short-term tenants.
Be clear about the trade-offs: the property sits in an area classed as deprived with higher local crime rates, and the building shows mid‑century features that may need updating over time. The flat is leasehold with 103 years remaining — suitable for buyers but worth noting for long-term plans. Average broadband speeds and an excellent mobile signal are useful for modern living.
