This first-floor, two-bedroom flat occupies a Victorian terrace close to South Shields' award-winning beachfront, offering a coastal lifestyle within easy reach of town centre amenities and good local schools. High ceilings, bay windows and period plasterwork give the reception rooms character and scope for tasteful updating. Double glazing and gas central heating are already installed.
Layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, one bathroom and an enclosed rear yard. The long lease (997 years remaining) removes common leasehold timing worries, but the property is sold as a leasehold and buyers should confirm legal details. The single bathroom and modest rear yard reflect the compact nature of this flat rather than a house-sized footprint.
This is a sensible purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a characterful flat near the coast with refurbishment upside. The property is in a neighbourhood described as hard-pressed with average crime levels, so buyers valuing a lively, affordable seaside location should view early. EPC C and very low council tax (Band A) keep running costs competitive.
