Summary - 44 FERN DENE ROAD GATESHEAD NE8 4RX
2 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Refurbished period flat with private decking — ideal for first-time buyers or investors..
Two double bedrooms, ground-floor convenience
Freshly refurbished and immaculately presented, this ground-floor two-bedroom flat sits in a popular Gateshead street close to Saltwell Park. Period features — high ceilings, bay window, ornate cornicing and a ceiling rose — combine with a modern fitted kitchen and stylish shower room to offer comfortable, move-in-ready accommodation.
The flat extends to about 700 sq ft and includes a private raised decking area with gate to the service lane, plus convenient on-street parking. Gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and a long 999-year lease make this an affordable purchase: council tax band A and a £100,000 price reflect strong value for first-time buyers or investors.
Notable practical points: the building is solid-brick (likely no cavity insulation) and wall insulation is assumed absent, so energy efficiency may be lower than modern standards. Appliances shown may not be guaranteed, and parking is on-street only. The property is in an area of higher deprivation, with average local crime rates, so buyers valuing long-term resale should factor neighbourhood profile into their decision.
Overall this is a well-presented, characterful home or rental opportunity that needs little immediate work. It suits a first-time buyer wanting period charm with modern fittings, or an investor seeking a ready-to-let flat near good transport links and local amenities.
