This end-terrace two-bedroom home in Hartside, Lemington, offers clear potential for first-time buyers or investors willing to renovate. The house is chain-free and set in a quiet cul-de-sac with gardens to the front and rear, giving scope to create a comfortable, light-filled living space. The principal bedroom spans the full width of the house and the second bedroom is also a double — both providing practical family or rental layouts.
Internally the layout is traditional and spacious throughout: a cosy lounge to the front, kitchen/diner to the rear with garden access, and a ground-to-first-floor circulation that is straightforward. The current bathroom is configured as a wet room but the space can accommodate a standard three-piece suite if preferred. The property is freehold and benefits from fast broadband — a practical advantage for home working or tenants.
The house requires renovation and some cosmetic updating throughout; purchasers should budget for works. The area shows higher-than-average crime and is in a very deprived local context, which will affect resale values and should be factored into long-term plans. That said, nearby primary and secondary schools have good Ofsted ratings and the location has convenient road links to Newcastle and local amenities, making it a sensible option for buyers prioritising value and refurbishment potential.
This is a straightforward project property with solid bones and scope to increase value through targeted improvements. It will suit a first-time buyer prepared to reconfigure and modernise, or an investor seeking a low-entry purchase in a rental market with reasonable connectivity and local services.
