Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Silverdale, this two-bedroom semi-detached house offers a straightforward renovation opportunity for a first-time buyer or investor. Sold freehold and chain-free, the property benefits from UPVC double glazing, a mains gas combi boiler and off-street parking — essentials in place while the rest awaits updating.
The layout comprises an entrance hall, through lounge/dining room, fitted kitchen, useful outhouse storage and two double bedrooms upstairs served by a first-floor shower room. Gardens lie to the front and rear; the rear garden backs onto treed land, giving a private outlook and room for landscaping or extension subject to permissions.
Key advantages include a modest footprint (circa 840 sq ft), low Council Tax (Band A) and good road links to Newcastle town centre and Keele University. There is clear potential to add value through cosmetic refurbishment and modernisation of finishes and services.
Important drawbacks are honest and material: the house requires renovation throughout — cosmetic and likely trades work — and sits in an area with above-average crime rates and indicators of local deprivation. Buyers should budget for refurbishment costs and consider professional surveys. No flood risk is recorded; mobile signal and broadband speeds are strong.
