This two-bedroom mid-terrace in North Shields offers an affordable entry into coastal living. The layout provides a well-presented kitchen, a living room with central fireplace and a light-filled conservatory that leads to a private rear garden — practical spaces for first-time buyers or young families.
Externally the property includes a front garage for secure parking or storage and on-street parking nearby. The home dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and appears well cared-for but may benefit from cosmetic updating to reflect modern tastes. The long lease (941 years remaining) removes typical short-lease concerns while the tenure remains leasehold.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds are reported slow locally and the cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, which could affect running costs. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; there is double glazing (install date unknown). Council tax is very low, and flood risk is none, supporting affordable ongoing costs.
Location is a clear draw: close to the North East coastline, good A1058 road links into Newcastle and local amenities and schools are within easy reach. For buyers wanting straightforward, well-located accommodation with potential to personalise, this property represents a sensible, budget-conscious choice.
