Set on the eighth floor of The Bar at St James Gate, this two-bedroom apartment offers a large open-plan living area, balcony and allocated underground parking — all within a super-central Newcastle address close to the station and universities. At around 730 sq ft, the layout includes a 21ft living/dining/kitchen, main bedroom with en-suite, second bedroom and a separate bathroom, making it adaptable for rental or owner-occupation.
The property is well suited to investors or buyers seeking city-centre convenience. Communal services, water and maintenance are covered by the annual service charge, and the 103-year lease and no onward chain simplify transaction planning. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and lift access add practical appeal for tenants or residents.
Buyers should note material facts: the building uses electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, and the local area is a cosmopolitan, multicultural student neighbourhood with very high crime levels reported. The service charge (£2,500pa) and ground rent (£350pa) are notable ongoing costs. The apartment was built in the early 2000s and has double glazing, though installation dates are unknown.
Viewing is recommended for those who prioritise central location, transport links and strong rental demand; the layout and parking allocation deliver straightforward management, while the heating type and neighbourhood profile should be considered when assessing suitability and running costs.
