Recently refurbished throughout, this mid-terrace Victorian house offers a straightforward, low-cost entry to homeownership or buy-to-let in Ashington. The accommodation includes an entrance hall, lounge, modern fitted kitchen, downstairs bathroom and two first-floor bedrooms, arranged over approximately 754 sq ft. Improvements include new kitchen cabinetry, fresh internal decoration and upgraded bathroom fittings.
Practical benefits include gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of C, together with very low council tax (Band A) and freehold tenure. The property is offered with no onward chain and sits close to local schools, shops and the town’s transport links including the recently reopened station — useful for commuters and tenants alike.
Be realistic about the trade-offs: rooms are small to medium and the plot and garden are modest. Parking is on-street only and the area is within a very deprived ward, which may affect resale values and tenant demand. There is also a noted basement issue which should be assessed by a surveyor before purchase; double glazing was fitted before 2002 and may not match modern standards.
This house will suit a first-time buyer wanting a ready-to-move-in home with modest running costs, or an investor looking for a low-entry rental in a town-centre location. A pre-purchase inspection is recommended to confirm the basement condition and any future maintenance needs.
