Set just off North Shields Fish Quay, this chain-free two-bedroom first-floor flat offers practical seaside living with secure gated parking and long lease security. The lounge’s bay window brings light and an open aspect, while gas central heating and double glazing keep running costs reasonable for the area. With 636 sq ft of living space the layout is traditional and easy to personalise.
The property suits a first-time buyer or investor looking for a well-positioned flat close to the Fish Quay, Metro station and Royal Quays Marina. The building benefits from electronic gates, CCTV and a designated off-street parking space — a notable convenience in this location. Local amenities, cafes, restaurants and transport links are all within easy walking distance.
Be clear on the drawbacks: the neighbourhood records very high crime levels and the wider area is classed as very deprived, which may affect resale and rental demand. There is an annual maintenance charge of approximately £1,800 and external areas are scheduled for repainting soon. The flat has one bathroom and a relatively compact second bedroom, so consider space needs carefully.
Overall this is a practical, well-located flat with long lease security (971 years remaining) and immediate access to coastal amenities. It’s a straightforward purchase for buyers wanting convenience and secure parking close to the Fish Quay, provided they weigh local area challenges against the location benefits.
