Summary - 119, Tunstall Avenue NE6 2XN
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable entry-level home with long lease and private garden near good transport links.
Ground-floor two-bedroom flat, approximately 602 sqft
A compact ground-floor two-bedroom flat offering an affordable entry into Newcastle with a private rear garden and no upper chain. The living room opens via French doors onto the lawn, giving a sense of outdoor space unusual for a flat at this price. The fitted kitchen, practical bathroom and gas central heating mean the property is habitable immediately while offering scope for cosmetic improvement.
This leasehold home comes with a very long lease (959 years) and low running costs — Council Tax Band A and an EPC C rating — making it practical for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. Double glazed windows and a combi boiler are already in place. The overall footprint is small (approximately 602 sqft), so it suits buyers seeking a manageable, lower-cost home rather than large-family accommodation.
Buyers should note material local factors: the area is classed as very deprived with very high recorded crime levels, and some nearby schools are rated as 'requires improvement'. The property itself appears structurally traditional (1930s build with filled cavity walls) and generally well maintained, though cosmetic updating could increase value and comfort.
Convenience is a clear selling point: close to Newcastle Retail Park, local shops on Shields Road and Chillingham Road, nearby Metro station and good transport links into the city centre. For someone prioritising affordability, a small garden and low council tax, this flat represents a practical, move-in option with potential for personalisation.
