About this home

Situated on Leighton Street, this two bedroom ground floor flat offers convenient single-level living and will appeal to first-time buyers, downsizers and investors alike. The property is well placed for South Shields' coastline, seaside attractions and Marine Park, with the town centre also readily accessible.

The accommodation has been refurbished and reconfigured under the current ownership, creating an individual layout. An entrance hallway provides access to a front-facing bedroom, with a further bedroom positioned to the rear. The lounge opens into the kitchen, which is fitted with modern units, an integrated oven and hob, together with space for additional appliances.

To the rear of the lounge, a useful utility hallway provides plumbing for a washing machine and leads through to the bathroom. The bathroom is fitted with a neutral suite comprising a bath with shower over, complemented by a generous storage cupboard.

Externally, the property benefits from a private rear yard with a brick-built outhouse, providing useful additional storage.

Offered for sale with vacant possession, this ground floor flat presents an opportunity for buyers seeking a home on one level in a convenient coastal location. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the accommodation and layout on offer.
