Affordable two-bed first-floor flat with long lease and good transport links.
Two-bedroom first-floor flat with rear yard
A compact two-bedroom first-floor flat set within a Victorian mid-terrace on Park Terrace, Swalwell. The accommodation includes an entrance hall, lounge with bay window, kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms and a rear yard — all arranged over one level, offering straightforward, low-maintenance living.
The property is offered at a low asking price, with a very long lease (958 years) and a cheap council tax band, making it accessible for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking an entry-level purchase. Transport links and local amenities are strong, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach.
Notable negatives are the wider area indicators: the neighbourhood is classified as deprived with a very high recorded crime rate, which may affect long-term demand and insurance costs. The building predates 1900 and walls are assumed to be solid brick with no cavity insulation, so heating costs could be higher unless improvements are made. The flat is small (approximately 582 sq ft) and will suit buyers who prioritise affordability over space.
Overall this is a pragmatic, budget-priced flat with potential for modest cosmetic updating. It suits a purchaser seeking a low-entry property near good transport and amenities, or an investor looking for a straightforward rental proposition provided they account for local area challenges.
