Summary - 49 DECKHAM TERRACE GATESHEAD NE8 3UY
5 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Spacious five-bed maisonette with long lease and rear yard, ideal for investors.
Five bedrooms over two floors — flexible layout for rent or family use
Set over two floors, this five-bedroom Victorian maisonette offers a versatile floorplan and clear rental or family potential. Well-proportioned rooms include a large 19' x 14'3" lounge/diner, a fitted kitchen, and a four-piece bathroom. The property benefits from double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas central heating and a long lease (969 years remaining).
Practical positives include an enclosed rear yard, easy on-street parking and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal — useful for tenants or home workers. Local amenities, schools rated Good, and regular public transport links into Gateshead and Newcastle place the property within easy reach of town-centre services.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the maisonette sits in a very deprived, high-crime area which will affect tenant demand and valuation. There is only one bathroom for five bedrooms, walls are original solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, and the EPC is band D. The property is leasehold (long lease) and set in an end-terrace Victorian building, so some modernisation and possible energy-efficiency upgrades are likely needed.
This home will suit investors seeking a multi-room rental with refurbishment upside, or a large household prepared to accept local area challenges in exchange for space and long-term tenure security. Costs such as council tax (Band A) and any improvement works should be factored into purchase calculations.
