This well-presented two-bedroom upper flat sits on a traditional Victorian terrace in popular Heaton. A large bay window floods the main lounge with light; wood flooring and fitted wardrobes give the apartment a tidy, low-maintenance finish. The kitchen has white cabinetry, wood-effect worktops, an integrated oven and hob, plus space for freestanding appliances. The adjacent dining area opens via patio doors to a small shared yard for limited outdoor use.
Practical details that matter: the property is sold as a share of freehold with about 107 years remaining on the lease, a below-average service charge of around £200, and a low ground rent. Broadband and mobile signal are both strong, and council tax is very cheap — all positives for first-time buyers or buy-to-let landlords seeking straightforward running costs.
Rooms are modest but efficiently planned: a double master with fitted wardrobes and a second bedroom currently used as a study. The property’s total internal area is approximately 671 sq ft, making it an average-sized upper-flat suitable for couples, single occupants or investors targeting the local rental market. On-street parking is available but there is no private off-street parking.
Notable considerations: the property is in a cosmopolitan, largely student neighbourhood and the local crime level is recorded as high — important if you plan to live here long-term or rely on premium rents. The outdoor space is shared and small, and room sizes are compact. No urgent structural or flooding risks are indicated, but purchasers should inspect communal condition and noise levels given the area classification.
