This well-presented ground-floor two-bedroom flat blends period character with contemporary fittings, making it suitable for first-time buyers, investors, or those downsizing. The living room’s bow window and decorative coving add charm, while a modern kitchen and updated bathroom provide everyday practicality. A rear enclosed yard and useful basement storage increase the flat’s usability.
Practical running costs are attractive: council tax band A is very cheap and the EPC is a reasonable C. The property is leasehold with an exceptionally long lease remaining (979 years) and includes a garage for parking or additional storage — useful in this busy area. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband make the flat well suited to remote working or student tenants.
Buyers should note a few material points: the building has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, which could mean higher heating costs or future upgrade work. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average, reflecting the busy, student-focused neighbourhood. The kitchen is compact and some rooms are average sized rather than spacious.
Situated in a cosmopolitan, student-orientated part of Newcastle with good access to shops, buses and local schools, this flat offers a practical, characterful home with sensible modern upgrades and clear potential for rental or owner-occupation.
