Two double bedrooms in an upper-floor flat
This two-bedroom upper flat occupies an average-sized footprint (approximately 655 sq ft) within a Victorian mid-terrace on Tynemouth Road, Howdon. Light-filled rooms and a modern three-piece bathroom give a ready-to-live-in feel, while double glazing and gas central heating offer practical, economical comfort. A small front garden and nearby amenities make everyday life straightforward.
The location is very convenient for first-time buyers: shops, supermarkets (including Aldi), regular bus and rail links, and local healthcare are all within easy reach. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and leisure. Council Tax is very low (Band A), which helps running costs.
Important practical points are presented clearly. The wider area is described as deprived with higher local crime rates, so some buyers may want to check neighbourhood safety and security measures. The building dates from 1900–1929 and “needs maintenance” has been noted in property descriptions — there may be cosmetic or structural works to consider. Finally, there is conflicting tenure information in the listing (both leasehold and freehold are stated); prospective buyers should verify title and any service charges before committing.
Overall, this flat offers affordable entry into the local market with good transport and shopping access, low running costs, and straightforward accommodation. It suits a buyer seeking a practical, well-located home who is prepared to check the title and address any maintenance or security improvements.
