The property occupies a prominent corner position at the junction of Welbeck Road and Cleadon Street, within a busy high street location approximately 1.5 miles east of Newcastle City Centre. The area forms part of the well-established Byker district and comprises a mix of residential neighbourhoods alongside a range of local and national retailers including Greggs, Costcutter, Ladbrokes and Heron Foods, a major national supermarket operator represented on the street. The property is situated on a main bus route with direct links to city centre destinations and the Metro system.
Public transport links are strong, with the nearby Tyne and Wear Metro providing regular services from Byker Metro Station and Manors Metro Station, offering convenient access to Newcastle City Centre, Gateshead, Sunderland, and North Shields.
The property comprises a masonry constructed building set beneath a pitched slate roof. The property benefits from a traditional shop frontage fitted with steel security shutters at ground floor level. The first floor flat is accessed via a separate entrance from Cleadon Street. To the rear, the property benefits from separate external yard areas.
The ground floor is currently let to a salon, producing rental income of £900pcm (£10,800pa) with approximately 8 years remaining on the lease. The lease is on full repairing terms, with the tenant also contributing towards the cost of the building insurance together with general building repairs and maintenance.
The first floor comprises a self-contained vacant 2 bed residential flat, offering potential to secure additional rental income. We estimate the flat would generate an additional annual income of around £500pcm (£6,000pa).
Ground floor retail: 65.6 sq. m (706 sq. ft)
First floor flat: 61.76 sq. m (664 sq. ft)

* Generally speaking Guide Prices are provided as an indication of each seller's minimum expectation, i.e. 'The Reserve'. They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Virtually every property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range or no more than 10% above a single figure Guide.

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
