Summary - 5, Cowen Street NE6 3AH
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Chain-free two-bedroom period home with garden and parking, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Chain free two-bedroom end terrace, approx 585 sq ft
A recently refurbished two-bedroom end terrace offering a straightforward, move-in ready home or buy-to-let in NE6. The property keeps much of its Edwardian character — bay windows and red-brick frontage — while presenting modern fitted kitchen and a new family bathroom. At about 585 sq ft (approx 83 sq m) the layout is compact but practical, with a lounge, dining room and L-shaped kitchen on the ground floor and two double bedrooms upstairs.
Practical positives include a private rear garden, off-street parking, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing updated since 2002, and very low council tax (Band A). The sale is chain free which supports a quicker exchange for buyers who need a fast move.
Buyers should note material location and running-cost considerations. The property sits in a very deprived area with above-average local crime statistics and socio-economic challenges; this will affect long-term capital growth and tenant demand for some investor profiles. The EPC is Grade D and cavity walls are recorded as having no insulation (assumed), which could lead to higher heating bills until upgraded.
This home suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable, ready-to-live-in starter home close to local amenities and transport, or investors targeting town-centre rental demand. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the space and finish; any buyer concerned about energy performance or insulation can budget for modest improvement works to reduce running costs and further improve value.
