Summary - 21 MOSS SIDE WREKENTON GATESHEAD NE9 7UU
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Move-in ready flat with communal grounds and lift access near good schools.
Two double bedrooms, main bedroom with en suite shower room
This modern two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers well-proportioned living across approximately 765 sq ft, ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking ready-made accommodation. The open-plan lounge with a bay window overlooks landscaped communal grounds and Ravensworth Golf Course, while the fitted kitchen and built-in appliances keep the accommodation low-effort to run. An en suite to the main bedroom plus a family bathroom provides useful flexibility for sharers or young families.
Practical aspects are clear: the development provides secure intercom entry, lift access, off-street parking and attractive communal grounds. The property is double-glazed (post-2002), has an EPC rating C and a Council Tax band C. The lease has 129 years remaining and the current annual running costs include a service charge of around £1,068 and a ground rent of £175.
Be realistic about area context and running costs. The neighbourhood records higher crime and sits within a deprived wider area, which may affect long-term capital growth and tenant demand for some investor profiles. Heating is electric by room heaters rather than central gas, which can raise energy bills compared with gas-heated homes. Overall, this is a practical, move-in-ready flat with clear value for buyers prioritising convenience and low initial maintenance, provided you factor in service charges, energy costs and local area considerations.
Local schools include several rated Good and one Outstanding (Cardinal Hume), and transport links provide straightforward commutes to Newcastle, Sunderland and Washington. The apartment is offered with no onward chain and is suited to buyers seeking immediate occupation or a straightforward rental opportunity.
