Sizeable living room with tall picture window and high ceilings

Light-filled two-bedroom ground-floor flat in North Shields, offered with no upper chain and a long 965-year lease. The principal bedroom features an original bay window and the living room benefits from a tall picture window and high ceilings, creating a sense of space. A contemporary kitchen with integral appliances and a fully tiled bathroom make the apartment move-in ready.
Practical extras include two built-in storage cupboards in the entrance hallway, newly fitted carpets and fresh decoration throughout. The rear yard has been sectioned to provide a self-contained outdoor area. EPC band C (78) and mains gas central heating keep running costs reasonable; council tax is described as very cheap.
Location is a strong selling point: walking distance to Northumberland Park, Tynemouth Village, the Fish Quay, and local transport links (Metro and buses). This flat will suit first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors looking for a low-maintenance period conversion close to amenities and the coast.
Notable drawbacks are the compact kitchen and the smaller second bedroom, which is best suited to a double bed but will feel snug. The building has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation — there may be scope (and cost) for wall insulation improvements if desired. As a ground-floor home, consider privacy and security preferences.
