This well-presented ground-floor flat occupies a Victorian mid-terrace building on a quiet pedestrian street, just moments from Whitley Bay seafront and the town centre. The layout includes two double bedrooms, two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, and a modern bathroom, with a private rear yard and a tended front garden offering outdoor space rare for flats. At approximately 78 sq. m (808 sq ft) the accommodation feels generous for its type.
Practical details support everyday living: double glazing, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property currently has an EPC rating of C and sits in a low council tax band, making running costs comparatively modest. Nearby schools (several rated Good or Outstanding) and a wide range of local amenities and transport links make this a convenient spot for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors targeting reliable rental demand.
There are a few material points to note before viewing. The flat is leasehold (99 years from 10 December 1982) — buyers should check remaining term, ground rent and any service charges. The building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, which may affect longer-term heating costs or future upgrade options. Only one bathroom is provided and the property is on the ground floor, which some buyers may prefer but others might want to check accessibility and security arrangements.
Overall this is a comfortable, characterful Victorian flat in a sought-after coastal location with genuine rental and first-home appeal. It offers immediate move-in potential alongside clear scope to personalise or improve insulation and lease terms where needed.
