Summary - 36 Mersey Street, Chopwell NE17 7DF
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Newly refurbished starter home with rental potential and low running tax.
No onward chain, ready to move into
This recently refurbished two-bedroom mid-terrace offers immediate move-in condition and a straightforward purchase with no onward chain. Set over approximately 979 sq ft, the layout includes two reception rooms (one with a log burner), a fitted kitchen, ground-floor shower room and two double bedrooms upstairs, plus loft access. The property is freehold and sits on a small plot with an enclosed rear yard and communal lawn to the front.
Practical running details: mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing installed before 2002, EPC rating D and very low council tax (Band A). Broadband speeds are reported slow and the terraced solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated, which may affect long-term energy costs despite recent cosmetic upgrades.
Location and market potential: Chopwell is a semi-rural village with local shops, pubs and good primary schools nearby. Transport links to Newcastle are available by road and the area borders countryside walking and cycling routes. Similar properties in the area have historically let for around £650 pcm, so the house may suit first-time buyers seeking an affordable starter home or landlords looking for rental income, though high local crime and wider area deprivation are important considerations.
Notable positives are the turnkey condition, freehold tenure, and compact, low-maintenance outdoor space. Notable drawbacks are the D-rated EPC, slow broadband, likely lack of wall insulation and the high-crime, very deprived local context — all factors buyers should weigh when budgeting and planning any further improvements.
