A straightforward two-bedroom mid-20th century terrace offered with vacant possession and no upper chain — an economical entry into South Shields for a first-time buyer or investor. The house benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and a practical layout including a porch, lounge, kitchen/diner and a ground-floor cloakroom. Two double bedrooms and a family bathroom sit on the first floor. Front and rear gardens are small and low-maintenance.
This property is best suited to buyers prepared to update and personalise: internal photos show original mid-century features and some areas that would benefit from modernisation. The build dates and filled cavity walls suggest a typical 1960s/70s construction; any buyer should allow a modest budget for cosmetic work and routine maintenance. Council tax is very low, and running costs should be economical thanks to mains gas heating.
Location is a key selling point: local schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, plus convenient local amenities, regular bus services and fast broadband/mobile connectivity. The neighbourhood classification and local area indicators point to higher deprivation levels and average crime rates — buyers should weigh community and regeneration prospects alongside the value-for-money on offer.
Overall this is a practical, affordable freehold terrace for someone seeking a low-cost purchase with scope to add value through improvement work. Vacant possession and no chain mean a quicker move for a buyer ready to invest time and money into modernising the property.
