This spacious two-bedroom ground-floor flat on Ashley Road is offered chain free with vacant possession — an attractive entry-level purchase for first-time buyers or downsizers seeking single-level living. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and the lounge opens off a practical layout that includes a fitted kitchen and modern bathroom. A private rear yard with decking provides a usable outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining.
The property comes with a long lease (199 years from 20 October 1989) and mains gas central heating with double glazing. Local amenities are strong: South Tyneside Hospital, West Park, Stanhope Road shops, frequent buses and the Tyne & Wear Metro are all close by, making daily travel and errands straightforward.
Buyers should note material negatives so they can plan appropriately. The area is classed as very deprived with higher-than-average crime levels, which may concern some purchasers. The building dates from before 1900 and the cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation; the EPC is D. The leasehold tenure means buyers should obtain full lease details and legal advice before committing.
Overall, this flat suits buyers looking for an affordable, well-located starter home or a buy-to-let opportunity where modest investment could add value. It is presented as a blank canvas ready for personalisation but is liveable as-is, so purchasers can choose between immediate occupation or a targeted refurbishment programme to improve energy performance and finish.
