Three-bedroom end terrace near town centre and beach, with Home for Life purchase option for over‑60s..
Three-bedroom end terrace with modern kitchen and island
A versatile three-bedroom end terrace on Wharton Street, close to South Shields town centre, transport links and the seafront. The house offers comfortable, well-proportioned rooms including a cosy lounge with log burner, a dining room opening to a modern kitchen with island, and a contemporary four-piece bathroom.
This property is being marketed as suitable for over-60s via the Home for Life Lifetime Lease plan from Homewise: typical savings against full market value range from 20%–50% (guide Lifetime Lease price shown £107,250; full market price £159,950). Buyers can also purchase up to a 50% share to safeguard capital. The property is freehold and Council Tax Band A.
Practical points to note: the plot and rear garden are small but low maintenance and may allow gated off-street parking. The house sits in a deprived area with above-average crime statistics, and the solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated, which could increase heating costs despite mains gas boiler and radiators. EPC rating D is provided. Early viewing is recommended for those seeking a convenient coastal location with flexible living space and retirement purchase options.
