Compact starter flat close to the beach, transport and local amenities.
Three bedrooms in a compact 529 sq ft upper flat
This compact three-bedroom upper flat occupies a convenient Fulwell Road position a short walk from Roker Beach and local shops. The property offers practical living space with a cosy lounge, modern kitchen, and shared rear yard; transport links and local amenities are strong, including nearby schools and public transport.
The flat benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, an EPC rating of C, and a long lease (approximately 962 years remaining). Council Tax sits in Band A, keeping ongoing costs low. The building dates from the 1930s–1940s and presents character in the living room fireplace.
Buyers should note the apartment is small at about 529 sq ft with a single bathroom, so space is best for those seeking an economical starter home or rental investment. There are reports of potential damp in the living room and the external cavity walls are assumed uninsulated — buyers may want to budget for minor renovation and insulation improvements. Broadband speeds in the area are currently slow.
Overall this is a well-located, affordable leasehold flat with scope to modernise and add value. Early viewings are sensible for anyone prioritising proximity to the seafront, transport links, and low running costs.
