Summary - Lilac Crescent, Newcastle Upon Tyne NE5 3QU
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Compact, low-maintenance two-bedroom home ideal for first-time buyers..
Two double bedrooms — both good-sized for a starter home
A modern two-bedroom terraced home built in 2021, this Kenley-style house offers practical entry-level living close to Newcastle city. The layout is efficient: a medium lounge, a generous kitchen/diner with French doors to a low-maintenance rear garden, and two double bedrooms upstairs. Off-street parking and freehold tenure add clear practical benefits for a first-time buyer.
The property suits someone seeking an affordable, low-upkeep starter home. At 545 sq ft the accommodation is compact but useable: good-sized kitchen/diner for social cooking and a separate lounge for relaxed evenings. Council Tax Band B helps keep running costs down, and mains gas central heating provides reliable warmth.
Be realistic about the location: the wider area is classified as a very deprived neighbourhood with higher-than-average crime levels and a local population skewed to social renting and young families. These local factors can affect resale speed and rental demand. The small plot and compact internal area limit expansion potential, though the modern construction means major structural upgrades are unlikely.
Overall, this is a practical, affordable first home for buyers prioritising low maintenance and proximity to city amenities. Viewings are recommended to assess fit, particularly for buyers concerned about neighbourhood context and long-term resale prospects.
