Summary - 695 Durham Road NE9 5HB
3 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free three-bed requiring renovation, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Upper three-bedroom flat, 732 sq ft
A deceptively spacious three-bedroom upper flat on Durham Road offered with vacant possession and no onward chain. The property retains period features such as cornicing, picture rails and fireplaces, and benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and a long lease (996 years). Its compact 732 sq ft layout and rear yard with roller shutter suit first-time buyers seeking central Low Fell living or investors after a rental opportunity.
The accommodation requires updating throughout; the asking price reflects the need for renovation and modernisation. The building dates from the early 20th century and external walls are likely uninsulated sandstone — buyers should allow for refurbishment costs and possible upgrading of services if desired. The bathroom and kitchen are functional but dated, and the flat is classed as small overall.
Location is a clear strength: an easy walk to Low Fell High Street with cafes, pubs and local amenities, frequent bus links and good road access to Gateshead Metro. Broadband speeds are fast and the property is in a very affluent area though recorded local crime levels are above average — worth factoring into letting or resale plans.
Practical points: council tax is low (Band A), the tenure is leasehold with almost a millennium remaining, and the flat is being sold chain-free. Early viewing is recommended for buyers prepared to renovate to unlock value or for investors looking for a centrally positioned rental in Low Fell.
