A rare freehold upper maisonette of around 1,800 sq ft in Otterburn Villas South, Jesmond, offering six bedrooms across spacious Victorian proportions. High ceilings, large windows and original period features give strong scope for stylish refurbishment and improved rental or resale value. The property includes a rear garden and sits in a mixed students-and-professionals neighbourhood with fast broadband and plentiful local amenities.
This is a clear renovation opportunity. The flat requires updating throughout — decoration, modern heating controls, glazing and likely insulation — and there are signs of dated decor and potential damp/mould in places. Solid brick construction means scope for insulation but will add cost. There are only two bathrooms for six bedrooms, which is typical for the layout but will affect lettings to sharers or large-family use.
For investors, the location and size create strong potential for high rental yield once modernised; nearby student and professional demand supports flexible tenancies. For buyers aiming to occupy, the house-like scale, good schools close by and low council tax band are practical strengths. Be prepared for an active refurbishment programme and associated costs; a survey is recommended to confirm structural and damp considerations.
