Summary - 2 Rayleigh Grove NE8 4QQ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable two-bed flat with garage and garden, long lease and low running costs.
Two double bedrooms suitable for couples or roommates
A well-presented two-bedroom ground-floor apartment offering practical, affordable living in NE8. The flat benefits from a modern fitted kitchen, a stylish bathroom with a mains-fed shower, and two double bedrooms; its layout suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking move-in-ready accommodation. A single garage and enclosed courtyard garden provide secure parking and useful outdoor space — rare extras for a property at this price point.
The building dates from the early 20th century (c.1900–1929) and is solid-brick construction. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators; double glazing is installed though the date is unknown. The leasehold has an unusually long remaining term (977 years) and council tax sits in Band A, keeping running costs low. EPC rating C indicates reasonable energy performance but the walls are assumed uninsulated, so further insulation could improve efficiency and comfort.
Location is practical: frequent bus routes, shops, local amenities, and Saltwell Park are all within easy reach. Local schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, which may appeal to buyers with young families. Note the immediate area is classified as very deprived with average crime levels — this affects local environment and resale considerations.
Overall this apartment represents a low-cost entry onto the property ladder with useful extras (garage, garden). It suits buyers who prioritise affordability and convenience and who are comfortable with an older, solid-wall building that may benefit from gradual energy improvements.
