Compact, chain-free apartment near Metro — good value for first-time buyers or investors.
Chain-free ground-floor Tyneside flat, 2 bedrooms, 554 sq ft
A chain-free ground-floor Tyneside flat offering practical two-bedroom accommodation ideal for a first home or buy-to-let purchase. The open-plan lounge/kitchen creates a sociable living area and the apartment includes a practical bathroom with shower. With 554 sq ft and a traditional Victorian terrace façade, the layout is compact but well-proportioned for everyday living.
Set close to Whitehall Road, the property is within walking distance of Gateshead town centre and the Metro, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for commuters. Transport links and nearby amenities make day-to-day life straightforward, and the long lease (899 years) removes a common leasehold concern.
The flat will benefit from cosmetic updating to reach its potential; the solid-brick construction and existing double glazing (installed before 2002) provide a good base for improvement. Energy Efficiency currently band D (score 65) with a realistic potential to reach band C (76) after upgrades.
Be frank about constraints: the overall footprint is small, rooms are arranged in a typical front-to-back terrace plan, and the property sits directly on the pavement with a shared rear yard. The local area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime rates, which may affect long-term capital growth and tenant demand. Priced at £75,000, this is a budget-friendly option for buyers prepared to refurbish.
