Summary - 47 Northumbria Lodge, 58, Ponteland Road, Cowgate NE5 3JW
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable buy-to-let with strong transport links and low council tax.
Top-floor one-bedroom apartment with lift access and golf-course views
A top-floor one-bedroom apartment in Northumbria Lodge offering wide views and straightforward rental appeal. The flat includes lift access, double glazing and electric heating, with an average-sized living space of 517 sq ft that suits single occupants or couples.
This property sits on the 13th floor and benefits from strong public transport links, nearby amenities and surprisingly low council tax. For an investor it presents an affordable entry price and rental potential given local demand and compact, manageable accommodation.
Buyers should be aware of material drawbacks: the lease has 79 years remaining, which may cause mortgage lenders to refuse standard lending. The EPC is rated E and heating is via electric storage heaters, which can increase running costs. The local area records higher crime rates and is classified as very deprived, factors that affect tenant demand and insurance.
Overall this is a budget-priced investment or cash-buy opportunity for someone comfortable managing lease considerations and retrofit or energy-efficiency improvements. Immediate viewing is recommended to assess condition, outlook and rental potential in person.
