This three-bedroom upper-floor flat offers chain-free purchase and practical space close to Gateshead and Newcastle. Recently decorated with a brand-new bathroom and UPVC double glazing, the property is ready for immediate occupation or letting. The compact layout provides a large lounge, fitted kitchen, three bedrooms and a small enclosed rear yard.
At about 700 sq ft, the flat suits investors or buyers seeking an affordable entry into the area. Heating is via mains gas combi boiler and the property benefits from low Council Tax (Band A). Good local amenities, parks and schools are within walking distance, and transport links include easy access to Team Valley, the Metrocentre and city centres.
Notable drawbacks are the leasehold tenure and likely ground rent/service charge liabilities; purchasers should confirm terms. The building dates from 1900–1929 and walls are solid brick with no added insulation, so energy efficiency improvements could be worthwhile. The area is classified as deprived with above-average crime levels; buyers should factor this into suitability and security improvements.
Overall this is a value-driven opportunity for an investor or first-time buyer prepared to accept a compact footprint and the responsibilities of a leasehold property. The combination of recent cosmetic works and strong local demand makes it straightforward to let or personalise further with insulation and minor upgrades.
