This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Rodney Close offers an accessible coastal base moments from Tynemouth Village. The open-plan living area with patio doors brings natural light into a compact but usable 582 sq ft layout, while modern brick construction and double glazing (post-2002) reduce immediate maintenance needs.
Practical features include an allocated off-street parking space and a long 90-year lease, making the property straightforward to mortgage for many buyers. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low, and mobile signal is excellent for home working. The flat is electrically heated using room heaters, so buyers should expect higher energy bills compared with gas-heated homes.
This apartment suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a seaside location within easy reach of cafes, shops, schools and public transport. The area is classified as comfortable neighbourhoods within a wider ‘hampered aspiration’ zone — a balanced mix of local amenity and affordability.
Be aware of two material negatives: the property is leasehold (90 years remaining) and the wider immediate area records higher crime levels. Broadband speeds are average, and the home’s electric room heaters may need upgrading for lower running costs and improved comfort.
