Brandon Grove, Sandyford, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE2

Bowson presents this stylish two-bedroom Tyneside flat on Brandon Grove, Sandyford, NE2. Sandyford is one of the most consistently in-demand pockets of NE2. Exhibition Park and Jesmond Dene sit on the doorstep for walking, running and weekends outdoors, while Jesmond Metro, the bars and restaurants of Osborne Road, and the independent businesses of Sandyford and Jesmond Vale are all within walking distance. The universities, the RVI and the city centre are a short distance, making this a natural fit for first-time buyers and professionals who want Newcastle on their doorstep without giving up the greenery.

Fully refurbished throughout, this is a home to move straight into rather than a project, and it will suit first-time buyers and professionals after character and quality in equal measure. The standout feature outside is rare for a Tyneside flat: a private, full-length rear yard with a raised sun-trap terrace at the top, enclosed by brick walls and giving practical, usable outdoor space in the middle of NE2.

Entry is via the flat's own front door into a hallway finished in a bold patterned wallpaper, with opaline pendant lighting setting the tone from the outset. The principal reception room is generous in size and centres on a restored cast-iron fireplace with decorative tiled inserts, alongside a built-in leaded-glass dresser. Wood-style flooring, deep coving and a picture rail carry the period detail, and the room opens through to the kitchen at the rear for an easy, sociable layout.

The galley kitchen is fitted with pale flat-fronted cabinetry, dark Silestone worktops and a Belfast-style sink, set against stacked brick-style tiling and original stripped floorboards. A range cooker sits neatly opposite the window. A part-glazed timber stable door leads out to the yard and opens either fully or top-half only, a characterful, practical detail for warmer days.

The main bedroom is a well-proportioned double to the front, with a bay window and a full wall of fitted wardrobes. The second bedroom, currently arranged as a home office, is a flexible space overlooking the rear. Completing the flat is a bathroom finished to a high standard in glossy terracotta tiling, with a walk-in shower, wall-hung basin, WC and heated towel rail over stripped floorboards.

Refurbished, well-proportioned and offering far more private outdoor space than most Tyneside flats, this is a straightforward, characterful home for a buyer wanting to be close to Jesmond, the universities and the city. Call Bowson today to arrange your viewing!
