- Single family bathroom for five bedrooms — potential capacity issue

This bay-fronted Victorian terraced house on Broughton Road provides generous living space across multiple floors — a practical choice for a growing family or those needing flexible rooms. The property includes a bright living room with high ceilings and bay window, a separate dining room, a practical kitchen with breakfast bar, and five bedrooms spread across the first and top floors. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home working or students.
Key conveniences include close proximity to South Shields town centre amenities, shops, schools and transport links. The home is freehold, has mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and an affordable council tax band. A low-maintenance yard gives a small outdoor seating area and bin storage, ideal for a low-upkeep urban plot.
Buyers should note there is a single family bathroom serving five bedrooms, and the house sits in an area with very high recorded crime and wider area deprivation — factors to weigh for family safety and insurance. The property’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation (as-built), so buyers should expect possible energy-efficiency improvements and associated costs. The top-floor space is currently used as a gym with a Velux window and offers straightforward conversion potential into a further bedroom or study.
Overall, this mid-terrace offers strong space and location value for families or buyers seeking an accessible town-centre home with renovation potential. The layout and period features (bay window, high ceilings, decorative mouldings) give character while leaving scope to modernise heating, insulation and bathroom provision to personal taste and budgets.
