Summary - 49 SALISBURY AVENUE NORTH SHIELDS NE29 9PD
2 bed 1 bath House
Spacious lounge/diner with bay-windowed main bedroom
Leasehold with very long lease remaining (961 years)
Garage included but requires remedial work and repairs
Exterior shows wear; property needs some modernisation
Double glazing installed before 2002 (less efficient)
Mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators
Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal
Very cheap council tax in a low-crime, affluent area
This leasehold two-bedroom first-floor flat sits in a traditional early-20th-century terraced block on Salisbury Avenue, North Shields. The large lounge/diner and bay-windowed bedroom give a sense of period character and generous room proportions, while modern comforts such as mains gas central heating and double glazing are already in place.
The property is suited to a first-time buyer or small family seeking an affordable entry into a very affluent neighbourhood with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and low local crime. Local amenities, bus links and several primary and secondary schools are nearby, making day-to-day life straightforward.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: the exterior shows wear and will need some modernisation, and the garage requires remedial work if you plan to use it. The double glazing was installed before 2002 and may be less efficient than newer units. The long lease (961 years) and very cheap council tax are strong ownership advantages.
Overall this is a sensible purchase for someone wanting roomy living spaces and period character with scope to update and add value. If you prioritise ready-made, fully modern finishes, this will require some investment; if you welcome renovation potential in an established neighbourhood, it represents strong potential.
