Light-filled, contemporary two-bedroom ground-floor apartment in a modern development close to Chester-le-Street town centre. The layout feels spacious for the overall size, with a large living room and fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms (one with en suite) and useful storage off the entrance hall. A south-westerly aspect brings good natural light into the front rooms. An allocated off-street parking space sits adjacent in the rear courtyard and there are communal gardens and visitor parking.
The building is energy-efficient by modern standards with uPVC double glazing, gas central heating and a combination boiler. Service charge and ground rent levels are modest for the development (service charge c. £844.71 pa; ground rent £100 pa). The location is a strong practical selling point — immediate walking distance to shops, cafés, schools and Riverside Park, with good road and rail links to Durham and Newcastle.
Important lease and lending note: a lease-length issue has been highlighted—mortgage lenders may be reluctant or refuse to lend if the remaining term is around 80 years. Buyers who require mortgage finance should seek specialist advice early and factor potential lease-extension costs into their budget. Also note this property sits in a coal mining reporting area; further searches are recommended.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking an accessible, low-maintenance home near local amenities — ideally purchasers able to proceed with cash or with mortgage advice in hand. A straightforward, well-presented flat with potential for a long-term owner-occupier or buy-to-let, provided finance and lease considerations are confirmed.
