A bright, practical two-bedroom second-floor apartment ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance city base. The open-plan living/kitchen and Juliette balcony create a spacious feel across circa 615 sq ft, and well-proportioned bedrooms suit everyday living or rental demand.
Practical advantages include gas central heating, double glazing, allocated off-street parking and communal gardens. The property sits within easy reach of Gateshead Stadium Metro, frequent bus routes and direct road links to the A184/A19, making commutes into Newcastle straightforward.
Important considerations: the home is leasehold with 104 years remaining and lies in a ward with very high crime and notable area-level deprivation. Council tax is band A (very cheap), but buyers should check insurance/service-charge arrangements and suitability for long-term plans.
