Summary - 7 Ruskin Road, Swalwell NE16 3JF
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Affordable starter property with clear refurbishment potential near good schools.
Two double bedrooms in a semi-detached post-war home
A two-bedroom semi-detached house offered freehold and sold at auction, ideal for a first-time buyer or small-scale investor seeking value. The property measures about 714 sq ft and sits on a regular plot with a front garden and paved path that needs landscaping.
Inside are a medium-sized living room with laminate flooring and an electric fireplace, a functional kitchen, and a first-floor bathroom serving two naturally lit bedrooms. Double glazing was installed after 2002 and heating is by a mains gas boiler with radiators — practical, standard fittings that will suit everyday living immediately.
The location provides fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, and regular bus links, with several well-rated primary and secondary schools within reach. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low. Be realistic: the area records higher-than-average crime levels and local deprivation, so buyers should factor community and resale considerations into their plans.
For those willing to invest modestly, the house offers clear scope to improve kerb appeal and interior finishes to increase comfort and potential resale value. Selling at auction means a quicker sale process, but buyers must have finance and survey arrangements in place beforehand.
