This chain-free, freehold three-bedroom semi offers an affordable entry into homeownership in Craghead. Priced to reflect its need for comprehensive modernisation, the house is small but practical, with scope to reconfigure or upgrade to suit a first-time buyer’s priorities.
Internally the property provides a reception room, kitchen/diner, three bedrooms and a bathroom across two storeys. Existing fitments such as laminate flooring and a fitted kitchen give a starting point, but the house requires renovation throughout — plastering, new finishes and likely systems upgrades are needed to bring it up to modern standards.
Outside there’s a gravel front yard, a low-maintenance rear yard and views across a large public green — useful outdoor space despite the compact plot. Practical advantages include freehold tenure, being chain free, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus very low council tax running costs.
Be realistic about the location: the property sits in a high-crime, very deprived area and will attract buyers prepared to invest time and money. Nearby primary and secondary schools have Good Ofsted ratings, and local amenities, bus links and shops are within walking distance, making daily life convenient once improvements are complete.
