A compact two-bedroom apartment in the heart of Newcastle, ideal for first-time buyers, students or buy-to-let investors. At around 463 sq ft, the layout includes an entrance hall, lounge, kitchen, two bedrooms and one bathroom — all within easy walking distance of universities, the RVI hospital and city-centre amenities.
The building dates from the late 1970s to early 1980s and has double glazing (install date unknown). Heating is via electric storage heaters and the property is electrically powered. Council Tax Band B keeps running costs relatively low, but the flat is leasehold — prospective buyers should check remaining lease length and service charges.
This is a practical city-base with good broadband and excellent mobile signal, close to public transport and plentiful shops, cafés and leisure facilities. The area is described as a cosmopolitan, multicultural student neighbourhood; the location suits renters or occupants who prioritise convenience over extensive living space. Note the very high local crime level — consider security measures and check local safety data.
Overall this apartment offers immediate central living or rental potential, but its small footprint and dated mechanicals (electric heating) mean some buyers may want to refurbish or upgrade. An early viewing is recommended to assess condition and potential.
