Set on the second floor of a Victorian stone building under the Tyne Bridge, this large one-bedroom apartment offers high ceilings, three sash windows and generous room proportions across 756 sq ft. The layout suits a single professional, city-worker couple or investor seeking central rental demand close to the Quayside and city centre amenities.
The apartment combines period character (arched windows, sandstone façade) with a contemporary fitted galley kitchen and modern bathroom. Practical services include mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators; EPC C and council tax band B help running costs. The building’s central location places bars, restaurants, galleries and transport links within easy walking distance.
Important considerations: the building is older (pre-1900) with assumed solid stone walls and no built-in insulation; windows are secondary glazed. The area has very high crime rates and is classified as deprived, and broadband speeds are reported as very slow. The property is leasehold — potential buyers should confirm lease length, service charges and any building maintenance liabilities.
Overall this property is best suited to buyers who prioritise location and character over turnkey condition: it offers ready-to-live-in accommodation with scope to improve energy efficiency and interior finishes, or to hold as a centrally located rental investment if lease terms are favourable.
