This newly refurbished two-bedroom first-floor apartment at Captains Wharf offers bright, contemporary living with private balcony views over the River Tyne. The open-plan kitchen/living area, modern fitted kitchen and hardwood flooring create an immediate move-in finish for first-time buyers or professionals. The property extends to approximately 732 sq ft — an average-sized layout with three main rooms plus bathroom.
Practical details: the home is leasehold with 101 years remaining and an annual service charge of £2,609.02 (approximately £217pcm). Heating is by electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, which may affect heavy remote-working or streaming needs.
Location and amenities are strong selling points — waterside restaurants, The Customs House, South Shields Beach and local schools are within easy reach. Secure entry and residents’ off-street parking add convenience. Note the wider area indicators: high local deprivation and a very high recorded crime level; buyers should consider this alongside the property's condition and price.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a ready-to-live-in riverside flat with good transport links and attractive views, provided they accept the electric heating, service charge, and local area challenges.
