Affordable starter home with excellent transport links and low running costs.
Top-floor modern apartment built in 2022
A modern top-floor apartment built in 2022, this two-bedroom flat offers a compact, energy-efficient home close to Newcastle city centre. The layout includes a lounge with French doors and a Juliet balcony, a fitted kitchen with integrated oven and hob, plus two double bedrooms — a sensible plan for first-time buyers or sharers. The property is leasehold with 99 years remaining, modest service charge and ground rent, and an A band council tax, keeping running costs low.
Location is a strong practical draw: excellent transport links, quick access to the Central Motorway and A1, nearby green spaces such as Town Moor and Exhibition Park, and fast broadband and mobile signal. Allocated off-street parking and communal gardens add convenience for residents.
Buyers should note material area-related drawbacks: the neighbourhood records high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale and rental prospects. The flat is small (approx. 503 sq ft) and arranged traditionally, so storage and living space are limited compared with larger homes.
Overall this is a well-presented, low-maintenance starter property with good transport access and modern construction; it suits first-time buyers and commuters who prioritise affordability and convenience but who are comfortable with the local area profile.
