This large three-bedroom mid-terrace Victorian house offers a substantial internal footprint (approx. 1,324 sq ft) in South Shields, close to town centre amenities, transport links and North Marine Park and Sandhaven Beach. The property is offered with vacant possession and an EPC rating of D, making it a clear renovation and value-add opportunity for an investor or experienced DIY buyer.
The house retains period character externally — bay window, slate roof and mid-height ceilings — and has useful room count across two floors: two reception rooms, separate kitchen and utility, three first-floor bedrooms, bathroom plus separate WC. Double glazing is already installed (pre-2002) and the property benefits from mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Important negatives are straightforward: the house requires full modernisation, internal walls are solid brick with assumed no insulation, and there are likely repair and upgrade costs to bring services and finishes up to current standards. The local area records very high crime levels and very high deprivation indices; buyers should factor this into rental prospects or resale timelines. The property will be sold at auction on 4th December 2025 with a six-week completion and buyer’s fees apply, so purchasers must be ready to proceed quickly and allow budget for fees and possible additional seller charges.
For the right buyer this is a low-entry freehold with scope to refurbish for resale or rent, or to retain as a longer-term asset close to transport and coastal amenities. Due diligence is recommended — check legal pack, local safety reports, and refurbishment cost estimates before bidding.
