A two-bedroom semi-detached home on Rendel Street that suits first-time buyers looking for an affordable starter and scope to add value. The property is freehold with paved driveways to front and rear, small front and rear gardens, and practical gas central heating. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and there are several well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby.
The layout offers a lounge, kitchen, ground-floor and first-floor bathroom facilities, and two bedrooms on the upper floor. Constructed mid-20th century with filled cavity walls and double glazing (installation date unknown), the house is fundamentally sound but shows signs of wear. It’s presented with refurbishment potential rather than move-in finish — ideal for buyers who want to personalise the space or improve market value.
Location is convenient for daily needs: local shops, takeaways, repair services, and regular bus links are all close by. Travel connections are strong for commuting across Gateshead and the wider conurbation. Council Tax is low (Band A) and there is no flood risk recorded.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime and the wider area is classified as deprived, which may affect resale timelines and tenant demand if buying to let. Plot size is small and the property will likely need internal updating and a check of glazing and services to confirm condition.
Overall, this is a practical, low-price-entry property with scope to upgrade and make it your own, best suited to first-time buyers or hands-on investors comfortable with a modest refurbishment project.
