This substantial Victorian end-terraced house is arranged as three separate flats, offering immediate rental potential or multi‑generational living. The building retains period features such as bay windows and high ceilings, and the accommodation extends over multiple levels plus attic space, giving scope to reconfigure or improve layouts.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, no onward chain, off-street parking with an adjoining garage/driveway, gas central heating and UPVC double glazing. The property sits within walking distance of Gateshead city centre and benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — attractive for tenants or homeowners needing good connectivity.
The house requires modernisation and a programme of refurbishment to fully realise its value; internal condition and services have not been verified so a buyer should commission a survey. The plot is modest with a small front garden and limited external space, and the area has high crime and pronounced deprivation indicators — factors to weigh against rental yields or resale prospects.
Overall, this is a value‑driven purchase for an investor or experienced renovator who can manage repairs, tenant demand and improvements. With sensible investment and refurbishment, the three-flat layout and central location could deliver strong rental income or be converted back to a larger family home.
