This striking duplex penthouse occupies the top floors of 55 Degrees North and faces directly onto the River Tyne, offering dual-aspect panoramic views across Newcastle’s skyline. The bright open-plan living level with floor-to-ceiling glazing opens on to an extensive private balcony that runs the length of the reception — a clear lifestyle and lettable asset.
Arranged as three double bedrooms on the lower level with a principal ensuite and an upper living/kitchen/diner, the layout suits professional sharers, executives or a high-yield city rental. The building includes a designated underground parking bay, 24-hour concierge and secure access, and the apartment benefits from modern fixtures, double glazing and fast broadband connectivity.
Buyers should note material costs of occupation: the property is leasehold with 103 years remaining, an above-average annual service charge of £5,138.50 (includes water) and an expensive council tax band. The wider location is a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood with very high local crime figures — factors that affect both living experience and tenant mix.
Overall this is a premium city-centre penthouse with excellent view credentials and strong rental or lifestyle potential, balanced by significant running costs and a busy urban context. It will suit investors or buyers seeking a central, high-profile home who are comfortable with leasehold ownership and the area's city-centre trade-offs.
