This Victorian four-bedroom terraced house on Dilston Road offers a flexible family home or rental opportunity in a well-connected part of Newcastle. Period features such as a bay window, high ceilings in the living room and a traditional fireplace give character and scope for sympathetic modernisation. The property is chain-free and has a private rear garden and good broadband and mobile connectivity.
The ground floor currently provides a bright lounge, an additional reception (potential fifth bedroom or home office) and a kitchen leading to the small rear garden. Upstairs are three further bedrooms and a single family bathroom — notable for buyers who need more than one bathroom or who plan to refurbish. The house presents clear potential for extension and reconfiguration to add value, subject to planning and building works.
Buyers should be aware of material issues: signs of potential damp or mould have been reported in the living room and the interior is dated, so renovation and ongoing maintenance will be required. The property sits in an area with above-average crime and the tenure is recorded as unknown, which may affect some purchasers or lenders; investigations are recommended before offer.
Location strengths include proximity to a range of amenities, strong transport links into the city centre, and several nearby schools (including outstanding-rated options). This home will suit families wanting a project in a convenient urban neighbourhood or investors targeting rental demand and refurbishment upside.
