This three-bedroom mid-terrace on a modern estate in Hebburn offers a practical, low-maintenance home with off-street parking and a private rear garden. The property is vacant with no onward chain and has an EPC rating of B, a boiler-fed central heating system and Council Tax band C. For buyers aged 60+, the Home for Life Lifetime Lease can reduce the purchase cost substantially (example guide price £113,250 vs market value £169,000), with the option to buy up to a 50% share to safeguard future value.
Internally the layout is straightforward: ground-floor lounge, kitchen/diner, cloakroom/WC, and three bedrooms upstairs including an en-suite to one room. The house is relatively compact (approx. 734 sq ft) so it suits those wanting manageable accommodation rather than large family living. Broadband and mobile coverage are strong and there are local amenities and transport close by.
Important negatives are stated plainly: parts of the exterior are boarded and need repair, and the area records high crime levels and very high deprivation which may affect perceptions and resale. The plot and overall size are small, and some buyers may prefer more generous living space. Tenure information should be confirmed with your solicitor.
Overall, this home will appeal to downsizers or over-60 buyers looking for an affordable, low-upkeep property that can be purchased via a Lifetime Lease to reduce upfront cost. Investors or first-time buyers wanting rental income might also consider it, but should factor in the neighbourhood challenges and any repair costs before proceeding.
