Set on Gateshead Quays with direct views over the River Tyne, this two-bedroom apartment offers roomy living across c.926 sq ft and private balconies to lounge and master bedroom. Built in the mid-2000s and with an EPC B, the flat presents a low immediate maintenance profile and long-term security with 226 years remaining on the lease.
The apartment has two bathrooms (including an en suite), a separate modern kitchen with integrated appliances, allocated off-street parking and secure entry with lift access — practical features for city renters or owners. Electric heating and double glazing keep the internal finish straightforward; the communal courtyard and proximity to cafés, bars and transport add to everyday convenience.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold with a small ground rent (£150) and sits in an area classified as inner-city, multicultural and experiencing high crime and wider area deprivation. Heating relies on electric room heaters (no gas central heating), which can increase running costs compared with gas systems.
This home will suit buyers seeking a well-located riverside apartment with rental or owner-occupier potential who accept an urban setting and the trade-offs of electric heating and local area challenges. For investors, the student and inner-city demographic supports rental demand; owner-occupiers should weigh lifestyle benefits against the neighbourhood’s higher crime statistics.
