Affordable starter home near Metro and local amenities.
Two bedrooms; open-plan living with balcony
A well-presented two-bedroom first-floor flat in the St James Village development, offering a practical, move-in ready home for first-time buyers or investors. The open-plan living/dining room with French doors and a small balcony provides good natural light, while a modern fitted kitchen and a bathroom with overhead shower complete comfortable everyday living. Practical benefits include gas central heating, double glazing, communal gardens and on-site off-street parking.
There are material considerations to note: the property sits in an area ranked as deprived with a very high local crime rate, which may affect resale and rental demand. It is leasehold with 103 years remaining, an annual service charge around £1,668 and a ground rent of £100. The apartment is small at approximately 561 sq ft, so storage and space are limited compared with larger family homes.
Convenience is a strong selling point: Gateshead Stadium Metro Station and local amenities including a large supermarket, leisure facilities and good broadband and mobile coverage are all nearby. For buyers seeking an affordable, well-located starter home or a straightforward rental, this flat provides good value, but budget realistically for service charges and the characteristics of the surrounding neighbourhood.
