Summary - 257 RAWLING ROAD GATESHEAD NE8 4QU
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Character ground-floor flat with modern bathroom and long lease, close to Gateshead centre.
Ground-floor Victorian flat with bay-windowed main bedroom
A well-presented ground-floor Victorian flat offering solid value for first-time buyers, investors or those downsizing. The apartment blends period character — including a bay-windowed main bedroom, coving and a decorative fireplace — with practical modern upgrades such as a fitted kitchen, modern bathroom and double glazing.
Set close to Gateshead town centre and public transport links, this 2-bedroom flat is convenient for commuting to Newcastle and daily amenities. The property is a sensible size (approximately 679 sqft) with a private rear yard and mains gas central heating; EPC rated C and council tax in Band A keeps running costs low.
The flat is leasehold (long lease with 961 years remaining) and constructed before 1900 in solid brick. There is limited external insulation (walls assumed uninsulated), so prospective buyers should consider future energy-efficiency improvements. The wider area shows higher levels of deprivation and average crime rates, but the immediate locality offers many local shops, schools and transport options.
Overall this is a practical, characterful home with straightforward investment or owner-occupier appeal. It will suit buyers looking for an affordable entry into the Gateshead market or an income-producing property that needs only routine updating rather than major structural work.
