This attractively presented Victorian mid-terrace pairs period character with a modern open-plan ground floor, making it an easy family home in a central North Shields location. The front reception room with bay window provides a formal dining or sitting area, while the rear open-plan kitchen/living space offers a sociable heartbeat for everyday life and entertaining. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home working and streaming.
Upstairs there are two generous double bedrooms and a smaller third bedroom suitable as a nursery, home office or single bedroom. The property is well maintained and move-in ready, with a single family bathroom serving all three bedrooms. The paved rear yard is low-maintenance and practical for outdoor seating and summer use, though the plot is small and won’t suit buyers seeking extensive garden space.
Practical considerations: the house is solid-brick (pre-1900) and currently has no wall insulation installed, which contributes to an EPC rating of D — suitable for now but with obvious scope for energy-efficiency improvements. Council tax is inexpensive and there is no reported flood risk. The freehold tenure and central setting, close to good primary and secondary schools and local amenities, will appeal to families and first-time buyers.
This home offers a straightforward, comfortable layout with clear potential to improve energy performance and personalise finishes. Buyers wanting more outside space or top-tier energy ratings should weigh those preferences against the property’s strengths: characterful rooms, open-plan living, good connectivity, and a convenient, amenity-rich neighbourhood.
