This upper two-bedroom flat on Saltwell View offers practical, affordable city living close to Saltwell Park and local amenities. The property includes a useful loft room and a garage — uncommon extras for an inner-city flat — and benefits from gas central heating and UPVC double glazing. The long lease (964 years) and chain-free sale make purchase straightforward for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Internally the property is compact (approx. 593 sq ft) with a medium reception room, a fitted kitchen and bathroom. The loft room provides flexible space for an office, playroom or storage but buyers should note room sizes are modest. The building dates from the 1930s and shows period features; the EPC suggests average energy performance (current band D) and there’s scope to improve insulation and heating efficiency.
Material points to consider: the flat sits in an area with higher recorded crime and wider local deprivation; the shared yard and compact garden space limit outdoor privacy. The property is leasehold — though with a very long term remaining — and is sold chain free. Buyers seeking a low-maintenance move-in will appreciate the garage and double glazing, but anyone requiring high levels of space or privacy should evaluate the layout in person.
Overall, this is a practical, well-located upper flat that suits a first-time buyer or investor after a low-cost entry into Gateshead. It rewards straightforward updating rather than heavy renovation, and its location near parks, schools and transport links supports both family life and rental demand.
