Summary - 161 HYDE STREET SOUTH SHIELDS NE33 3LB
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Retirement-friendly flat with Lifetime Lease savings and no onward chain.
Two-bedroom ground-floor flat, single-level living
Set on one level in a central South Shields position, this two-bedroom ground-floor flat suits buyers aged 60+ who want easy access to shops, bus and Metro links and the nearby seafront. The Home for Life (Lifetime Lease) guide price for eligible purchasers is £60,250 (guide saving ~33%); full market price is £89,950. The property is offered chain-free and vacant.
The layout includes two well-proportioned bedrooms (main with bay window and fitted wardrobe), a rear lounge opening to a compact fitted kitchen, and a modern bathroom with shower over bath. Low-maintenance outdoor space to the rear adds practical utility for drying or storage. Accommodation is comfortable for downsizers or those wanting single-level living close to town centre amenities.
Buyers should note material facts: the home is leasehold (999 years from 3 April 1987), the walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation, and the EPC rating is D. The immediate area scores as deprived and has above-average crime levels, which may concern some purchasers. Broadband and mobile coverage are strong, but interested buyers should verify all tenure and lease details with a solicitor.
This property offers a genuine opportunity to secure a central, low-maintenance flat with retirement-friendly layout and a part-purchase Lifetime Lease option to reduce upfront cost. Early viewing and independent checks on lease terms and condition are recommended.
