A bright ground-floor flat with two double bedrooms, offering manageable living in a modern block close to main transport routes. The open-plan kitchen/living room and a small low-maintenance garden make this a practical home for downsizers or first-time buyers seeking simple, single-floor living. Allocated off-street parking and double glazing add everyday convenience.
This is a long leasehold property (108 years remaining) with a combined ground rent and service charge of £120 per month (approximately £1,440 annually). Heating is via electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity—buyers should note running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. The property is compact at around 570 sq ft, so it suits those wanting a smaller, easier-to-manage home rather than a spacious family house.
Location benefits include easy access to the Coast Road and A19, nearby shops, supermarkets and frequent public transport into Newcastle. Local schools include several primary schools rated Good; secondary provision is mixed. The neighbourhood is in a more challenged area with above-average crime and higher deprivation indicators, which may affect resale expectations.
Overall, this flat is a sensible, well-located option for first-time buyers, buy-to-let investors seeking a low-entry purchase, or retirees wanting single-floor accommodation. Prospective purchasers should arrange a viewing and consider a survey to check services and heating efficiency before committing.
