This well-presented two-bedroom upper flat on a quiet Heaton street offers an affordable entry into the area. At about 614 sq ft it provides a bright living room, a roomy main bedroom and a flexible second room suitable as a guest room, office or dressing area. The interior is neutral and move-in ready with oak-effect flooring, modern kitchen cupboards and double glazing installed after 2002.
Practical ownership details suit both first-time buyers and investors: a long lease (115 years remaining), low ground rent (£10) and a below-average service charge (£203). Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators and broadband and mobile signal are good — useful for renters or home workers.
Be candid about location realities: the wider area is classified as very deprived with very high crime levels. That affects resale and tenancy risk and will be a key consideration for buyers. Local schools and transport links are nearby and Chillingham and Heaton Road amenities (cafés, bars, shops) are within easy walking distance, which supports rental demand.
Overall this is a compact, easy-to-maintain flat in a popular, well-connected neighbourhood. It offers clear value at the asking price for those seeking an affordable buy-in or a straightforward rental investment, provided buyers factor in local social challenges when assessing long-term plans.
