Set on a quiet Whitley Bay street, this 1930s semi delivers roomy family living with period charm and practical updates. An airy living room with a bay window and decorative ceiling details leads to a long open-plan kitchen/diner with a coal-style fireplace — a sociable hub that opens directly onto a sunny rear garden with raised patio and built-in brick BBQ. The plot includes a single garage, driveway and additional on-street parking.
Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a single family bathroom. The home benefits from double glazing (installed since 2002) and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators, reducing immediate major-investment needs. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband make it convenient for home working or streaming.
Location is a strong practical asset: schools rated Good are nearby, Monkseaton Metro and local high streets are within walking distance, and the coast is easily reachable. The property sits in a generally affordable council-tax band and carries no flood risk.
Buyers should note this is a period house in an area showing signs of local deprivation; some cosmetic updating may be wanted to modernise kitchens, bathrooms or interiors to personal taste. There is only one bathroom for three bedrooms, which may influence family planning. Overall this is a characterful, well-located semi with garden, garage and solid fundamentals for a growing family or buyer seeking refurbishment potential.
