Summary - 186 MARSHALL WALLIS ROAD SOUTH SHIELDS NE33 5PW
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable auction opportunity near transport links and local amenities.
Chain-free one-bedroom first-floor flat
A compact one-bedroom first-floor flat offered chain-free and sold at auction, suitable for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The property has a bright reception room, double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a fitted kitchen and a three-piece bathroom. Council tax band A and an EPC rating of C help keep running costs low.
Practical details: the flat is leasehold with 87 years remaining and will be sold at auction — buyers should factor in lease length when budgeting. There is a shared yard to the rear and a communal entrance; the raised first-floor position offers extra privacy and street-level views.
Location benefits include strong public transport links, local shops, schools and basic amenities within walking distance. While the building is in an established residential area, the immediate neighbourhood records very high crime and is in a very deprived area, which will affect resale and rental demand. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are reported as good.
The kitchen appears modern but needs finishing; some updating and cosmetic work would likely increase comfort and value. This is a straightforward, low-price entry to the market for someone prepared to buy at auction and carry out light refurbishment or for an investor seeking a low-cost addition to a portfolio.
