Three-bed semi with garden, chain free — ideal renovation project for first-time buyers or investors.
Chain free three-bedroom semi-detached house
Set on Plantation Avenue in Swalwell, this three-bedroom semi-detached house is offered chain free and ready for renovation. The home sits on a small plot with attractive front and west-facing rear gardens and potential to add garage or off-street parking to the side/rear. Internally the layout is sensible with a medium-sized living room, three bedrooms (two doubles), separate WC and shower room, and useful rear storage areas.
The property was owned by one family since new and presents an opportunity for first-time buyers or young families to modernise and add value. EPC rating D and mains gas central heating are in place, and the house benefits from double glazing (unknown install date). At 894 sq ft, the home is a practical size for a starter household with straightforward room proportions.
Buyers should note the house requires updating throughout and is sold as needing renovation. The area shows high crime levels and broader local deprivation, which may affect long-term resale or rental prospects. Tenure is not specified; buyers should verify this early. Council Tax Band A means low ongoing local tax costs.
Overall this is a budget-priced renovation project in a major conurbation, offering potential to personalise the layout and finishes. It will suit cash buyers, those using low-cost mortgage options, or investors prepared to refurbish in a challenging local market.
