A bright two-bedroom ground-floor flat combining period character with a modern kitchen and ready-to-move-into presentation. The long lease (964 years) and no onward chain make this an uncomplicated purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking rental potential.
The living room and main bedroom retain original features such as a fireplace, coving and ceiling rose, while the fitted kitchen offers practical, contemporary storage and built-in appliances. A rear yard and small front garden provide outdoor space for storage, bike parking or a morning coffee.
Practicalities to note: the property has an EPC rating of D and solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, so heating costs could be higher than modern builds. The local area is classed as very deprived with above-average crime; buyers should weigh location and travel benefits against those local conditions.
Transport links and local amenities are strong, with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and easy commuting into Newcastle. Nearby primary schools have good to outstanding Ofsted ratings, and the low council tax band A keeps running costs down. Overall this is a straightforward, characterful flat with clear scope for improvement and rental or owner-occupier appeal.
