A practical three-bedroom first-floor flat offered with no onward chain, set in a Victorian mid-terrace on Windsor Avenue. The apartment is compact (approx. 719 sq ft) and laid out with an entrance hall, living room, separate kitchen, three bedrooms and a single bathroom, plus a small rear yard. Double glazing and mains gas central heating are already in place.
This property suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking an affordable entry into Gateshead. The exceptionally long lease (975 years) removes a common leasehold worry, and the location provides quick access to Central Gateshead and Newcastle, local shops, bus routes and several well-rated primary schools. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, useful for working from home.
There are some practical limitations to note: the flat is small for three bedrooms and has only one bathroom, the building dates from 1900–1929 and the original solid brick walls likely lack modern cavity insulation. The area scores as very deprived with average crime levels, and parking is on-street only. These factors mean minor-to-moderate investment may be needed to modernise or improve energy efficiency.
Overall, this is an affordable, low-risk purchase with good lease terms and usable amenities close by. For buyers wanting a straightforward, move-in-able home or a lettable asset in a well-connected location, it offers clear potential, provided you accept the compact layout and local area context.
