A compact Victorian mid-terrace offering characterful living moments from Saltwell Park and local amenities. Bay windows and exposed brickwork give the principal rooms street presence and natural light, while decorative cornices and wood flooring retain period charm. The layout spans two floors with a practical utility room and a fitted dining kitchen that includes integrated appliances.
This freehold two-bedroom terrace suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a walkable urban location and manageable running costs — council tax is very low. The rear yard is low-maintenance, so outdoor upkeep is minimal and the small front planting area adds kerb appeal. Rooms are an average size for the era; viewing is recommended to appreciate proportions and natural light.
Buyers should note some clear areas for upgrade: heating is by electric room heaters, glazing dates from before 2002, and external walls are solid brick with no known insulation. These factors affect comfort and energy bills and may require investment to improve thermal efficiency and long-term running costs. The property sits in a very deprived area overall, which affects local services and investment prospects.
Despite those drawbacks, the house’s location, period detail and practical layout create tangible potential. Improvements to insulation, heating and windows would uplift comfort and value. For purchasers wanting proximity to parks, schools and transport links into Gateshead and Newcastle, this offers a sensible, affordable entry into the market.
