Summary - 88 CHEVINGTON GATESHEAD NE10 8SB
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Affordable two-bedroom semi with garden, gas central heating and good connectivity.
Freehold two-bedroom semi-detached, priced at £120,000
A well-presented two-bedroom semi in a quiet cul-de-sac on Leam Lane, offered freehold at an accessible price. The house combines a light living/dining room with a multi-fuel stove and French doors opening onto a tiered rear garden with vegetable plots, shed and greenhouse—ideal for first-time buyers who want outdoor space and low running costs. The property benefits from mains gas central heating, a fitted kitchen with integrated oven, and uPVC double glazing (install date unknown).
Internally the layout is straightforward: entrance hallway, living/dining room, kitchen, two first-floor bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a family bathroom. Total floorspace is modest (around 689 sq ft) so this will suit buyers seeking an affordable, manageable home rather than a large family house. Council tax is described as very cheap, and mobile and broadband connectivity are strong.
Buyers should note material context and conservative maintenance points. The property lies in an area classified as outer-city hardship with high local deprivation and average crime rates; this will affect resale prospects and local services. The small plot and post-war exterior (1950s–1960s) mean outdoor space and curb appeal are limited compared with newer developments. The age of glazing and services is not specified and fixtures, systems and appliances have not been tested—buyers should budget for standard checks and any minor updating.
Overall this home offers an affordable entry into homeownership with genuine garden and storage benefits. It suits a first-time buyer or couple looking for a practical, low-cost base with potential to personalise, garden, and increase value through modest improvements.
