This two-bedroom ground-floor flat on Marlborough Street South offers a straightforward, move-in-ready option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. Neutral décor throughout and a generously sized living room make the property immediately comfortable, while practical features — fitted wardrobes in the bay-fronted main bedroom, a functional kitchen, and a full bathroom with overhead shower — keep running costs and maintenance straightforward.
Outside, a private rear yard is fully decked and accessed via a back lane, providing a low-maintenance outdoor space. On-street parking to the front adds convenience for residents and visitors. The location is well connected: Chichester Metro station, Marine Park and South Tyneside College are all close by, and the area benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband.
This flat has clear investment and starter-home appeal, but buyers should note a few limitations. The second bedroom is best suited to a single bed or home office rather than a double, and there is a single bathroom. The wider area is classed as deprived with average local crime rates, which may affect longer-term capital growth or lettability in some market segments. The property is freehold and of traditional layout, presenting straightforward management for an owner-occupier or landlord.
Nearby schools include several rated Good and one Outstanding, which will suit families with younger children. Overall this is a practical, well-located flat with low external maintenance and good transport links — a tidy, realistic option for a first purchase or to add to an investment portfolio.
