A freehold three-bedroom end-of-terrace on a generous plot, offered as a blank canvas for buyers who want to add value. The property sits in a well-connected part of Birtley with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and easy access to the A1(M), making it practical for commuters.
Internally the layout is traditional and spacious for its size: entrance hall, lounge overlooking the rear garden, fitted kitchen, three bedrooms and a single family bathroom. The house benefits from double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and gardens to the front and rear that provide scope for landscaping or extension subject to consents.
Material points to note: the home needs renovation and modernisation throughout and cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, which will affect running costs unless improved. The property sits in an area with higher local deprivation and average crime levels; buyers should factor renovation costs, potential insulation upgrades and the single bathroom into budgets. EPC rating D indicates moderate energy efficiency.
This will suit first-time buyers seeking a project to personalise or investors targeting a value-add renovation. Nearby primary and secondary schools are rated Good or Outstanding, and local amenities include shops, pubs and sports facilities. Early viewing is recommended to assess condition and scope for improvement on site.
