This ground-floor garden apartment on Holly Avenue combines period character with modern convenience. High ceilings and a south-facing bay create a bright lounge/diner, while original details sit alongside a contemporary re-fitted bathroom and a modern kitchen with breakfast area and integrated appliances.
Outside space is a genuine bonus: a gravelled south-facing front garden and an enclosed rear courtyard with decking. The rear courtyard also provides private off-street parking accessed via an up-and-over door — rare for a Jesmond flat and useful for first-time buyers who need easy parking and some outdoor space.
Practical strengths include a very long lease and share of freehold, fast broadband and cheap council tax. The property is well located for Jesmond’s cafes, shops, Jesmond Metro and Jesmond Dene, making it suitable for professionals, couples or first-time buyers wanting a central spot with character and convenience.
Buyers should note a few material points: the building dates from c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls and assumed no insulation, so heating efficiency may be lower and further insulation work could be needed. Crime levels are reported as high locally. These facts are important when budgeting for ongoing running costs and any future upgrades.
