This well-proportioned two-bedroom mid-terrace offers 951 sq ft of traditional living space in an established North Shields street. Period features such as tall sash-style windows, high ceilings in the living room and a Georgian brick façade give the house character and good natural light throughout. The layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, bathroom and a small private yard with storage — practical for everyday family life.
The property is freehold and sits in an affluent, family-focused neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — good for homeworking and connectivity. Local schools are highly rated nearby and everyday amenities, shops and public transport links are within easy reach. Council tax is very cheap, helping running costs.
There are some important practical considerations: the solid brick walls are assumed to be without cavity insulation, and the double glazing installed before 2002 may be dated. The house retains traditional construction from the early 20th century and will reward targeted updating and insulation improvements. Buyers should factor potential energy-efficiency upgrades and general modernisation into their plans and budget.
Overall, the property suits buyers seeking a roomy period terrace with character and scope to add value through sympathetic refurbishment. It's particularly appealing to families or first-time buyers who prioritise location, space and good local schools, and who are comfortable with moderate updating to improve comfort and efficiency.
