South-facing garden, low council tax and scope to modernise — good starter home.
Three-bedroom mid-terraced house, approx. 744 sq ft
This compact three-bedroom mid-terraced house offers an affordable entry into homeownership in NE12. The property is freehold with very cheap Council Tax (Band A) and a south-facing rear garden that delivers good daylight and a private outdoor space for dining or gardening.
Internally the layout is practical: a generous lounge, separate dining room, fitted kitchen and three bedrooms served by a shower room plus a separate WC. Built-in wardrobes in two bedrooms and useful storage (combination boiler cupboard) reduce immediate work required. A fitted stairlift is currently installed and can remain or be removed to suit the buyer.
The house will suit first-time buyers or a small family prepared to modernise and personalise; cosmetic upgrading and kitchen/bathroom improvements would add value. The paved front forecourt may offer potential for off-street parking subject to permissions, but current parking is on-street only.
Buyers should note a few material negatives: the overall footprint is small (approx. 744 sq ft) and the area records above-average crime and local deprivation indicators. EPC is TBC. These points make this property a practical, lower-cost purchase with scope for improvement rather than a move-in-perfect home.
