This two-bedroom semi-detached house in Denton Burn is a low-entry, cash-only opportunity for buyers who can take on a full renovation. The property is chain-free, offers two reception rooms, gardens front and rear, and a driveway — useful practical features for a family or investor seeking rental or resale potential.
Important practical constraints affect value and saleability. The lease has 57 years remaining (as at November 2025); many mortgage lenders will refuse to lend at this term, so purchase is likely limited to cash buyers or specialist lending. The house needs full refurbishment throughout — cosmetic and likely some mechanical updates — and sits in an area rated as very deprived with very high crime levels, which will influence rental demand and resale pricing.
On the positive side, the property benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing, a large overall size (approximately 926 sq ft), and very low council tax (Band A). It is well connected by public transport to Newcastle city centre and the MetroCentre, with good road links to the A1 and A69. There are several local schools nearby, including an Outstanding primary and an Outstanding secondary school, which may attract family buyers if the area factors are acceptable.
Before progressing, buyers should commission a conveyancer to verify lease details, investigate mortgage options, and carry out a mining search due to local mining heritage. Suitable for a cash investor or an experienced DIY buyer willing to accept locality risks and commit to a full refurbishment programme.
