This well-presented ground-floor flat pairs period charm with practical living in a popular Newcastle location. Two well-proportioned bedrooms and a comfortable rear lounge give genuine family-style space on a single level, while original coving and a decorative fireplace add character many modern flats lack.
The fitted galley kitchen opens onto a block-paved rear yard, which doubles as convenient off-street parking through double rear gates. A white-suite bathroom and double glazing complete the practical accommodation. The long lease (983 years) and very low council tax band A make this an affordable ownership option for first-time buyers or investors seeking reliable rental demand nearby.
Known as a cosmopolitan, student-focused neighbourhood, the area offers fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and good public transport links, with shops, pubs and schools within easy reach. Note the property has an EPC rating of D and the building’s solid-brick construction suggests limited wall insulation as built, which could mean higher heating usage unless improved.
Buyers should also consider local safety statistics, which are above average for the area. Overall, this flat offers immediate move-in potential, scope for simple energy upgrades, and strong rental or starter-home appeal in a central, well-connected part of Newcastle.
