Summary - 86 MOWBRAY ROAD SOUTH SHIELDS NE33 3AX
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Spacious period maisonette with character, coastal access and a Home for Life purchase option for over‑60s.
Spacious two-bedroom upper maisonette with high ceilings and bay window
Built before 1900, this two-bedroom upper maisonette combines Victorian character with roomy, multi-level living close to South Shields seafront. High ceilings, a bay-fronted lounge and a large fitted kitchen give the home a spacious feel; the main bedroom even enjoys limited sea views. The sizeable four-piece bathroom with spa bath and separate shower is a notable feature, and there’s scope to rework the layout into three bedrooms if required.
The property is offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £110,500 for buyers aged 60+, typically representing a saving versus the £165,000 market value. The plan allows purchase of up to a 50% share to safeguard equity; actual price depends on age and circumstances. Buyers should use the Homewise calculator or request a personalised quote to confirm eligibility and final cost.
Practical points to check: the building has solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), is a period mid-terrace so ongoing maintenance and heating costs should be considered, and the property is leasehold (999 years from 1988) — seek solicitor advice on lease terms and any service/ground rent obligations. The area has average crime, fast broadband potential and excellent mobile signal, but is locally classified as deprived, so factor local market and amenities into any decision.
This maisonette will suit retirees or downsizers wanting generous rooms, character features and coastal access, plus investors seeking flexible layout potential. Early viewing and professional surveys are recommended to confirm condition, insulation and lease details before committing.
