Two-bedroom ground-floor flat with high ceilings and bay window
999-year lease — long term security for owners
Front garden and rear yard provide private outdoor space

Located in affluent, family-oriented area with good amenities
Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for remote working
Very low council tax — lower ongoing costs
Leasehold property; check service charges and maintenance responsibilities
Bright period character and practical layout make this ground-floor two-bedroom flat a sensible step for first-time buyers or downsizers. High ceilings and a large bay window bring light into the living room, while original features add charm without being fussy. The layout is straightforward: living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a shower room, all on one level.
Externally there is a small front garden and a rear yard, providing private outdoor space for plants or a seating area. The property sits in an affluent, family-oriented area with good local amenities, parks and fast broadband — useful for home working. Mobile signal is excellent and there is no flood risk.
Practical strengths include a very long 999-year lease and low council tax, which reduce ongoing costs. Local schools include several good-rated primaries and a top-performing secondary within reach, which supports family buyers. The ground-floor layout may also appeal to buyers seeking level access.
Notable limitations: the flat has a single shower room and is a modest-sized property, so space is limited for larger households. It is a leasehold flat (details given) and will share the building’s structure and external maintenance responsibilities; buyers should confirm any service charges or communal arrangements. Overall, this is a characterful, affordable entry into a popular North Shields area, well suited to buyers who value period detail and low running costs.
