This two-bedroom ground-floor flat on Rothbury Terrace offers a spacious, characterful home ideal for first-time buyers seeking space and convenience. High Victorian ceilings, a traditional fireplace and a wide living room with French doors create bright, flexible living that opens onto south-facing outdoor spaces — rare for Tyneside flats.
The layout includes two double bedrooms, a central bathroom and a separate dining/study area that works well for home working or dining. The kitchen leads directly to a private south-facing yard, adding outdoor room for plants, sitting out or storage. New bedroom carpets and double glazing improve comfort while retaining period character.
Practical details suit buyers who want straightforward ownership: a long Tyneside lease (963 years remaining) with no service charge, mains gas heating and very low council tax. The property sits between Chillingham Road and Heaton Road, close to shops, cafés, transport links and a mix of primary and secondary schools.
Considerations: the building is a pre-1900 solid-brick construction with assumed no wall insulation, so buyers should expect potential upgrade costs for insulation or modernisation to improve energy efficiency. The area is a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood, which suits many but may not suit those seeking a quieter suburb. Overall, this flat offers roomy period accommodation, outside space and long-term tenure at an accessible price point.
