A rare chance to buy a compact, affordable mid-terrace in Newsham, Blyth — offered freehold and chain-free with a practical two-bedroom layout plus a useful loft room. The house has been tidied and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and an EPC rating of C, making it ready to occupy or let quickly. A small front garden, rear yard and single garage add useful outdoor space and secure parking, rare for this price band.
The ground floor provides flexible living with two reception rooms, a kitchen, utility room and downstairs WC — sensible for families or buyers who need extra storage and circulation. Upstairs delivers two bedrooms, a bathroom and a loft room with Velux windows that could serve as occasional accommodation, office or storage. Overall internal area is modest (about 872 sq ft) so rooms are small-to-average in scale.
Important cautions: the property will sell at auction and buyers must allow for a £2,400 auction administration fee and the possibility of a reserve price up to 10% above the guide. The local area scores high for crime and very high for deprivation; prospective purchasers should visit by day and assess neighbourhood suitability. A mining search is recommended due to regional mining history.
This home suits first-time buyers seeking an entry-level purchase close to a new train station, or investors wanting a straightforward let in a commuter area. If you want an affordable, workable home with scope to personalise and modest outdoor space plus a garage, this presents real value — but budget for auction costs, checks and any cosmetic updating.
