Summary - 27, Bensham Crescent, GATESHEAD NE8 2YB
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Refurb project in popular Bensham location — ideal for investors or buyers with renovation plans..
Two bedrooms ground-floor flat, period mid-terrace
This ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment sits in a Victorian mid-terrace on Bensham Crescent and is offered as a renovation project. The flat is freehold and has mains gas central heating, double glazing installed after 2002, and an EPC rating of D. Internally it provides a lounge, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom, with high ceilings and period features visible from the exterior.
The property requires refurbishment throughout: cosmetic updating, likely insulation improvements to solid brick walls, and general modernisation. The surrounding area is described as very deprived with high local crime rates, which will affect rental income stability and resale comparables. Council Tax Band A keeps ongoing costs low.
For investors or buyers with DIY skills, this is a low-entry-price opportunity near transport links into Newcastle and local amenities including schools, shops and bus services. The building’s layout and period character offer scope to increase value with targeted upgrades, or to refurbish and let to the local rental market.
Note the first-floor three-bedroom flat above is also for sale and likewise needs updating; buying both could create a larger project opportunity. Viewings are recommended to assess condition and scope before committing.
