Light-filled two-bedroom first-floor flat in the centre of Whickham, with a private rear garden and a garage in a nearby block. The open-plan kitchen/living area is modern and practical, and double glazing has been fitted since 2002. Local amenities, buses and several highly rated primary and secondary schools are within easy walking distance.
This home suits a buyer wanting a compact, well-connected property with outdoor space and off-street storage. Heating is mains gas to a boiler and radiators; the property was built in the late 1960s/early 1970s and has standard ceiling heights and medium-sized rooms. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low.
Important: the flat is leasehold with 71 years remaining. Many mortgage lenders have minimum lease-term requirements and may refuse to lend on a 71-year lease, which could limit mortgage options or require a larger deposit or specialist lender. Buyers should get early mortgage advice and consider the cost of lease extension.
There is also no evidence of cavity wall insulation (assumed uninsulated), so energy efficiency improvements could be considered. Despite these points, the combination of garden, garage and central Whickham location offers solid potential for a first-time buyer prepared to manage the lease situation and minor upgrading.
