Two-bedroom starter home with long lease and low running costs.
Own front door and private garden plot
A well-presented two-bedroom first-floor flat with its own front door and rare private garden plot — an unusually self-contained apartment for this price bracket. The living/dining room is generous, bedrooms are comfortable, and windows take in elevated green views; the listing also reports some distant sea glimpses. The kitchen and bathroom are modern in style, and the property benefits from double glazing and a gas boiler with radiators.
Practical running costs are modest: EPC band C, a low estate management charge of £15 per month, and very low council tax. The flat comes with a long lease (125 years from 1991, about 91 years remaining) and a share of the freehold, which helps future security and control over the building.
Location suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking value in Ryhope — it’s at the top of a quiet cul-de-sac within walking distance of local shops, schools and transport links. On-street parking is available and mobile and broadband signals are good.
Buyers should note the local context: the area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime levels. The lease has under 100 years remaining, and external maintenance is covered by a small management charge. Viewing recommended to judge the outlook and finish for yourself.
