If you want to be close to everything North Shields has to offer, but still have somewhere peaceful to come home to, this could be just the place.

Set on a quiet residential street in a sought-after part of North Shields, this spacious two-bedroom upper flat has a lot going for it. You are close enough to wander into North Shields town centre, grab a coffee or pick up your essentials, while the brilliant bars, restaurants and riverside atmosphere of the ever-popular Fish Quay are also close enough.

And when you fancy heading further afield, the location is just as handy. The Coast Road is easily accessible for getting into Newcastle or further afield, there are local bus routes taking you towards the coast or into the city centre, and North Shields Metro station is just over a mile away. There really are plenty of options depending on where you are heading.

Oh, and then there is the driveway. Private parking is not something you see every day with a flat in this part of North Shields, so that is a pretty amazing bonus.

Inside, the flat has the ideal layout and feels surprisingly spacious.

There is a private entrance leading upstairs, where the bright and generous living room immediately makes an impression. Positioned at the front of the property, the room benefits from a beautiful bay window, filling the space with natural light and giving you a lovely main living area.

There are two great-sized bedrooms off the hallway, both offering plenty of space for bedrooms, a home office or whatever you need them to be, along with a generous sized bathroom.

To the rear is the kitchen, which is a brilliant size and has plenty of room for a dining table or an entertaining area. There is also a handy tucked-away utility space, currently used by the owner as an office. It is a surprisingly versatile little space and could work equally well as a home office, utility area, storage or even a walk in pantry, why not!

From the kitchen, stairs lead down into the private garden, and this is another part of the property that really needs to be seen.

The garden is surprisingly large for a flat, beautifully kept and, importantly, easy to maintain. There is plenty of space to sit out, enjoy a bit of sunshine, entertain friends or simply have your own outdoor space without the upkeep becoming a full-time job.

All in all, this is a cracking option for a first-time buyer, someone looking to downsize, or anyone who wants a little slice of the North Shields lifestyle without sacrificing peace and privacy.

Great location. Proper space. Private parking. A garden. And all the North Shields action on your doorstep.

Comment from the owner:

'The Flats in a nice, quiet area, everyones friendly and helpful, you can be as involved or not involved as you choose.  Tynemouth (one of my favourite places) and the Bars, Pubs and Restaurants are all great.  Newcastle is about 10 minutes by Car away which is great, theres some great running routes around, you've got the Beaches, and Front St. at Tynemouth to run along and the Cemetery across the road is great if you prefer tougher terrain to run.'
