A well-presented two-bedroom lower Tyneside flat on Doncaster Road, offering characterful period features and a practical extended layout. The front bay master bedroom and stylish living room with feature fireplace give the flat strong tenant/owner appeal, while the modern kitchen and contemporary bathroom reduce immediate refurbishment costs.
The property includes a useful sun room and an enclosed private rear yard with patio and decking — a rare outdoor amenity for a ground-floor flat in this area. Practical details that support letting or resale include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and a very long lease (c.971 years) with share of freehold.
Notable considerations are the compact kitchen, modest overall footprint (c.722 sq ft) and single bathroom, which suit couples, singles or sharers but may limit family use. The building dates from before 1900 and external walls are cavity as built with no recorded insulation (buyer to verify), which could affect future energy efficiency improvements.
Location strengths are proximity to shops, restaurants, bus and Metro links and nearby parks — factors that support steady rental demand in this student‑and‑young-professional neighbourhood. Crime levels are reported above average for the area; prospective buyers should consider this for insurance and tenant screening.
