Chain-free ground-floor apartment with private yard and strong rental potential.
Two double bedrooms with modern kitchen and bathroom
This ground-floor two-bedroom flat on Wharton Street offers an affordable entry into South Shields living, conveniently placed in a central spot a short walk from the coast. The apartment is chain-free and ready to occupy, with a modern fitted kitchen and contemporary four-piece bathroom that reduce immediate refurbishment needs.
At about 643 sq ft the layout suits a first-time buyer or small household seeking straightforward, low-maintenance accommodation. A private rear yard provides outdoor space, while good mobile signal and fast broadband support home working and everyday convenience. Council Tax Band A and low ground rent keep running costs down.
Investors should note a marketed potential yield of around 12% and a long lease (approx. 86 years remaining), making the flat a clear rental prospect; however, expect local rental demand to reflect the wider area profile. Important factual points: the location sits in a deprived ward with above-average crime rates, and the EPC is pending — buyers should confirm energy efficiency and insurance terms before committing.
Overall this property is best suited to a buyer wanting an inexpensive, well-located flat to live in or let immediately. It offers good immediate fixtures and scope to personalise, but purchasers must weigh local area challenges and leasehold considerations into their plans.
