A two-bedroom ground-floor flat offering an affordable entry into South Shields, sold with vacant possession and no upper chain. The accommodation includes a lounge, two bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom across approximately 690 sq ft, with a rear shared yard. Gas central heating and double glazing are already fitted.
Positioned close to the Metro and local amenities, this property suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking strong transport links and fast broadband. The 999-year lease and low council tax band reduce ongoing costs and simplify purchase logistics.
Buyers should note the property sits in a very deprived area with a very high local crime level; prospective owners should assess security and insurance implications. The mid-terrace, solid-brick construction dates from c.1950–66 and the home appears compact with standard ceiling heights. Some updating or refurbishment is likely to modernise the finish and improve thermal performance (walls assumed uninsulated).
