Summary - 24 UNION STREET NORTH SHIELDS NE30 1NL
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright open-plan flat with gated parking near Fish Quay and Metro.
Top-floor two-bedroom apartment, approx 689 sq ft
This two-bedroom top-floor apartment sits in the centre of North Shields, a short walk from shops, cafes and the Fish Quay. The open-plan living room and kitchen with bay-window dining area makes the most of natural light, while integrated appliances and double glazing (pre-2002) reduce immediate upgrade needs. A designated gated parking space and secure phone-and-keypad entry add convenience and security.
At about 689 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers or professionals wanting a low-maintenance coastal base. Both bedrooms are double-sized and the bathroom is practical in a clean contemporary finish. The property was built c.1996–2002 and runs on mains gas with boiler and radiators.
Important negatives to note: the home is leasehold (long lease of 971 years) and sits in an area with very high recorded crime and marked deprivation—factors that affect resale prospects and insurance/rental demand. There is limited private outdoor space and only a single bathroom for two bedrooms. Internal inspection is recommended to check finishes and communal arrangements.
Overall this apartment offers a convenient, ready-to-live-in option for buyers seeking proximity to transport (North Shields Metro) and coastal amenities, with clear potential for modest personalisation. Investors should weigh the strong local rental demand against the higher-crime neighbourhood statistics and limited outdoor space.
