Priced attractively at £32,000, this two-bedroom ground floor flat in Ashington is offered chain-free and ready for refurbishment. The accommodation includes an entrance hall, lounge, galley kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms across a compact 614 sq ft footprint. A shared yard provides external space with minimal upkeep.
This property is most suited to investors or first-time buyers prepared to carry out modernisation works. Key mechanicals are present — gas boiler and radiators — and double glazing is installed, though dated. The building dates from the mid-20th century; cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, so upgrade opportunities exist to improve comfort and energy performance.
Buyers should note material considerations: the flat requires renovation throughout, windows have been boarded externally and internal fittings are dated. The tenure is leasehold. The immediate area is classified as very deprived with challenging local indicators, which may affect long-term capital growth and lettability in parts.
Practical positives include very low council tax, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, plus several nearby schools rated Good. For an investor seeking a low-entry purchase with clear scope to add value, or a buyer looking to create a customised home, this property provides an economical starting point.
