Summary - 79, Fern Dene Road NE8 4RT
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Two double bedrooms, large yard with off-street parking potential near Saltwell Park.
Freehold Victorian end-terrace with large internal floorspace (1,045 sq ft)
This end-of-terrace Victorian home on Fern Dene Road offers a surprisingly spacious layout across 1,045 sq ft, with two double bedrooms and two reception rooms. The large rear yard gives clear potential for secure off-street parking or a private garden — a rare find in the area. The house is freehold and benefits from double glazing plus mains gas central heating, making it straightforward to move into and run.
The property suits a first-time buyer or small household looking for value and scope to personalise. Rooms are generous in scale (reception rooms and kitchen both around 4.5m long), so cosmetic upgrades and reconfiguration would unlock further living potential. Saltwell Park is within walking distance, and local broadband and mobile signal are both strong, supporting modern working or study from home.
Buyers should note material points clearly: the property is an older solid-brick Victorian (constructed c.1900–1929) with no assumed wall insulation and a likely need for further thermal improvements. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived and has average crime levels, which may concern some purchasers. The listing does not confirm recent tests on services or appliances — buyers should commission standard surveys and service checks before purchase.
Overall, this is a practical, well-located starter home or investment opportunity that rewards modest refurbishment. Its freehold tenure, generous room sizes and off-street parking potential make it a realistic proposition for buyers able to carry out improvements.
