This stylish first-floor maisonette offers modern, low-maintenance living in a quiet courtyard location overlooking woodland. The apartment’s open-plan living/dining space, contemporary kitchen and two well-proportioned bedrooms suit a first-time buyer or downsizer seeking a ready-to-move-into home with good natural light and smart finishes.
Practical benefits include two allocated off-street parking spaces, an Energy Rating B boiler and radiators on mains gas, and a long 999-year lease with a nominal peppercorn ground rent. The property occupies a withdrawn position in a small, aspirational development with pleasant green outlooks that enhance privacy and amenity.
Important ownership details: the building is arranged as a ‘Tyneside’ lease. Each owner holds the lease for their apartment and the freehold of the opposite dwelling. Owners share equally the costs of insurance, maintenance and repair for the block and common areas. On sale, the leasehold of the apartment and the freehold of the other dwelling are sold together and cannot be sold separately.
Considerations: communal maintenance obligations and the reciprocal freehold arrangement require cooperative ownership with the neighbouring owner. The outdoor space is limited to a small courtyard/forecourt; there is no private garden. Local crime is reported above average, which may be a factor for some buyers. Overall this is a compact, high-specification home offering convenience, low running costs and straightforward accommodation for a first purchase or rental investment.
