Summary - 16 KATHERINE STREET ASHINGTON NE63 9DJ
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Low-price renovation project near local amenities and schools.
Two double bedrooms upstairs, living room and kitchen-diner downstairs
Gas central heating and double glazing already installed
Requires modernisation throughout; dated decor and worn flooring
EPC rating D (current) with potential to improve to C
Freehold with low council tax (Band A) and low running costs
No off-street parking; on-street parking only
Small front garden and private rear yard, limited outdoor space
Area classified as very deprived with very high local crime rates
A compact two-bedroom Victorian terrace in central Ashington offered at a low entry price. The house is freehold and benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen, making it straightforward to rent out or refurbish for resale. The layout includes a living room, kitchen-diner, downstairs bathroom and two double bedrooms upstairs.
The property does require updating: decor and fittings are dated, some wear to carpets and exterior surfaces, and a general modernisation would significantly improve appeal and energy performance (current EPC D, potential C). The plot is small with a modest front garden and a private rear yard; there is no off-street parking.
Location factors influence value and lettings: the immediate area is economically challenged with very high recorded crime and classified as a very deprived neighbourhood. On the positive side, local amenities and good primary schools are nearby, and the low asking price and council tax band A reduce holding costs.
This house suits a buyer prepared to invest in renovation—either an investor seeking rental income or a cash buyer aiming to refurbish and uplift the property for resale. Be realistic about repair, modernisation and local lettability given the area profile and limited outdoor space.
