Summary - 8 St. James Gardens NE15 6SB
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
1930s semi with new roof — renovation project with strong transport links.
Three bedrooms across 851 sq ft with period bay windows
A 1930s three-bedroom semi-detached house in Benwell offered as a freehold with recent roof replacement (2024). The home has solid period charm—bay windows, Tudor-style brickwork and a practical 851 sq ft layout—but the interior requires full renovation to modern standards.
The property suits buyers prepared to invest time and budget: new roof reduces immediate exterior costs, double glazing is present though install date is unknown, and mains gas central heating is in place. The small rear garden and average overall size suit first-time buyers or small families wanting a manageable project close to local amenities and transport links into Newcastle.
Notable area factors are high crime levels and very high deprivation; the neighbourhood is classified as a hampered area with many private renters and new arrivals. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, council tax is low (Band A), and several Ofsted-rated good/outstanding schools are within reach.
This house is a renovation opportunity rather than a turnkey purchase. Buyers should budget for internal refurbishment (kitchen, bathroom, decoration), check services and electrics, and consider security improvements given local crime figures. For the right buyer it offers value, period character and quick access to city facilities.
