This first-floor, three-bedroom apartment sits in a Victorian mid-terrace on Windsor Avenue, offered chain free and priced at £90,000. At about 776 sq ft it is compact but practical, with period features such as a bay window and high ceilings that add character and natural light.
The layout includes a fitted kitchen, one bathroom, and a reception room. The property has double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The lease is long (962 years remaining), and council tax is very cheap—appealing for cost-conscious first-time buyers or investors seeking rental income.
The flat will benefit from updating: the exterior and some internal elements are dated and modernization work is likely required to unlock full value. The building has solid brick walls with no assumed insulation, which could affect energy efficiency; the EPC is currently TBC.
Location is a strong practical asset—fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, good transport links to Newcastle, and local amenities including Saltwell Park, shops and leisure facilities. Note the local area scores as deprived and recorded crime is above average, which buyers should weigh alongside the low price and long lease.
