This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Derwent Place is offered chain free and sits close to Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre and the A34, making local shops, buses and amenities easily accessible. The house has both front and rear gardens, mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators, and double glazing already installed. The plot is modest, and the property footprint is compact at about 905 sq ft, suitable for buyers seeking manageable space or a starter family home.
The interior and exterior show mid-century styling and are described as dated, offering clear potential for refurbishment and modernisation. There is one bathroom on the first floor and approximately five rooms overall, so layout improvements could add value. The property is freehold and council tax is very cheap, which helps running costs for buyers mindful of budgets.
Buyers should note material negatives honestly: the area is classified as deprived, with above-average local crime, and the neighbourhood profile suggests economic challenges. The plot is small and the garden to the rear is overgrown, requiring landscaping or maintenance. Double glazing dates from before 2002 and some updating to fixtures, finishes and systems may be needed.
This house will most suit first-time buyers or small families wanting an affordable, chain-free purchase with scope to improve. It will also appeal to buyers comfortable with a renovation project who want quick access to town amenities and good local transport links. Viewing is recommended to assess exact condition and potential for modernisation.
