Summary - Hambledon Street, Blyth, NE24 NE24 1NH
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable one-bedroom ground-floor flat close to Blyth town centre, chain-free with long lease.
Chain-free ground-floor one-bedroom flat, 452 sq ft
A ground-floor, one-bedroom flat offering an affordable entry to Blyth’s town-centre fringe. The property has a long lease (993 years) and is chain-free, making a swift purchase possible. At 452 sq ft it’s compact but functional, with a private rear yard and gas central heating providing practical living space for a single occupant, couple or buy-to-let investor.
The building dates from the early 20th century and retains period brickwork. The flat has double glazing and a boiler with radiators, but much of the interior is dated and will benefit from modernisation. Walls are solid brick with no assumed cavity insulation; improvements such as upgrades to finishes, insulation and the kitchen/bathroom will increase comfort and value.
Important negatives are the wider context: the immediate area is very deprived with very high recorded crime levels. That will affect resale and lettability and should be factored into planning and pricing. Ground rent is £500 and tenure is leasehold — the very long lease is positive, but buyers should check costs and terms carefully.
This is a low-priced, low-risk way to secure central Blyth accommodation or a rental unit with clear scope for improvement. The property suits someone comfortable with a modest renovation project and realistic about local market conditions; viewings are recommended to assess exact condition and potential.
