Set within a popular and established residential location, and ideally positioned for access to the much loved Saltwell Park, this two bedroom first floor flat presents a superb opportunity for a range of buyers. Requiring some updating and refurbishment, the property offers prospective purchasers the chance to place their own stamp on the accommodation and create a home tailored to their individual taste and requirements.
Upon entering the property, an entrance hallway provides access to the staircase leading to the first floor landing. From here, there is access to all principal rooms, including the spacious lounge, two bedrooms, bathroom and useful loft space.
The lounge is positioned to the rear of the property and features an attractive traditional style fireplace set within the chimney breast, creating an appealing focal point. The lounge leads through to the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of wall and base units providing useful storage and preparation space, together with built-in cooking appliances.
The main bedroom is located to the front of the property and benefits from a characterful bay window whilst a further attractive feature is the focal point fireplace positioned within the chimney breast. The second bedroom, also positioned to the front aspect, provides a versatile additional room which could be utilised as a bedroom, home office, dressing room or hobby space, subject to the purchaser's requirements.
Completing the first floor is the spacious bathroom, which is well equipped with a shower enclosure, bath, WC set within a vanity storage unit and a hand wash basin positioned within a matching vanity unit. The generous proportions provide scope for comfortable everyday use.
A further benefit is the useful loft space, offering valuable additional storage and accessed via a staircase from the first floor landing.
Externally and within the surrounding area, the property benefits from its position within a well established residential setting. Saltwell Park is conveniently situated nearby, offering attractive open green space and a range of recreational facilities. A selection of local shops and everyday amenities are also available within the surrounding area, while transport links and local services provide commuter access towards Newcastle city centre and the wider surrounding areas.
Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the accommodation, potential and location on offer.
