This three-bedroom end terrace in Fenham offers a practical family layout across two storeys with genuine improvement potential. The house benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and an EPC rating of C, keeping running costs reasonable for the area. A dropped kerb and rear yard create a real opportunity for a private driveway where space allows.
Internally the property needs modernisation. The cellar requires significant refurbishment and visible external render/brickwork shows wear; buyers should budget for structural/finish works and upgrading the bathroom and kitchen to contemporary standards. Walls are likely uninsulated (cavity as built), which may mean improvement works to optimise energy efficiency.
Location is a strong asset: regular public transport links to Newcastle city centre and the MetroCentre, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Local schools include highly rated primaries and secondaries within easy reach, which will suit families. Council Tax Band B and freehold tenure add practical value.
A mining search is recommended for the region due to local mining history. Early viewing is advised for purchasers seeking a project with space to add value, or investors targeting a well-located rental in a multi-ethnic suburb close to transport and amenities.
