This tidy two-bedroom terraced house on Oswald Street offers an affordable entry into South Shields. Neutral décor, a bright reception room and a fitted kitchen with rear access make the layout practical for everyday living. The property is freehold with off-street parking and a small front garden and private rear yard with brick storage.
The first floor provides a generous master bedroom, a flexible second bedroom suitable for guests or a home office, and a family bathroom with both bath and shower. Heating, windows and basic fixtures are in place and the home is presented ready to personalise rather than requiring immediate major works. EPC rating D is noted.
Location is a key selling point: local shops, frequent bus routes and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby. The area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime levels, so buyers should consider local conditions alongside the low purchase price and cheap council tax band A when weighing value and safety.
This property will suit first-time buyers wanting a low-cost, manageable starter home with straightforward planting and storage, or investors seeking a rental in a well-connected suburb. Formal inspection will confirm room sizes and condition; purchasers interested in longer-term value should factor in modest cosmetic upgrades and local market conditions.
