Affordable starter flat near shops and good schools in a sought-after area.
First-floor two-bedroom flat ideal for a first-time buyer or couple
A well-proportioned two-bedroom first-floor flat in the ever-popular Brunton Park area, ideal for a first-time buyer or couple seeking a manageable starter home. The apartment sits above a ground-floor retail unit, giving you doorstep access to local shops, a deli and post office, with Gosforth High Street and good bus links a short walk away.
Internally the home offers a bright lounge, two good-sized bedrooms, fitted kitchen with integrated hob and oven, and a shower room. Practical features include double glazing, a gas combi boiler with radiators, and boarded loft storage. The long lease (circa 165 years), low council tax band A and modest ground rent (£50) are strong ownership advantages.
Be clear on a few factual limitations: the building is a mixed-use mid-terrace with the flat above a shop, so street and commercial activity may be noticeable at times. Broadband speeds in the area are reported slow, which could affect remote working before an upgrade. The cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so improving thermal efficiency may be needed. The property is currently tenanted, which may limit immediate vacant possession or viewing flexibility.
Overall this flat is a sensible, affordable entry into a desirable, well-connected neighbourhood with good schools and very low local crime. It suits buyers looking for a straightforward, maintainable home with potential to personalise and improve energy performance over time.
