Set in the heart of Tynemouth, this generous ground-floor two-bedroom apartment blends Victorian character with coastal convenience. At around 919 sq ft it feels unusually spacious for a flat, with high ceilings, bay-window light and open views across the green. A private rear yard gives valuable outdoor space, rare for apartments in the area.
Practical advantages include a share of freehold, double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas central heating and fast broadband and mobile signal — useful for remote working. The property is offered chain-free, so a quick move is possible. Local life centres on independent shops, cafés, pubs and the seafront, with strong nearby schools and easy access to the beach, priory and coastal walks.
There are material points to note. The building dates from before 1900 and has solid brick walls with no assumed cavity insulation, so heating costs and future insulation work should be considered. The apartment has a single bathroom and some period fabric may need updating to modern standards. The area records higher crime levels than average; buyers should factor neighbourhood safety measures into their plans.
Overall this is a strong proposition for first-time buyers or downsizers wanting space, coastal living and ownership security via a share of freehold. It also offers refurbishment potential for those seeking to add value, but buyers should budget for insulation and upgrade works where required.
