A spacious 4-bedroom semi-detached home in Fenham, offering 1,284 sq ft of flexible family space and clear potential for improvement. The property retains 1930s character with a front bay, feature fireplace and traditional room proportions, while an extended kitchen and separate utility give ready-made daily practicality. The modern shower room, separate WC and underfloor heating in the wet areas add contemporary convenience.
Practical positives include driveway parking, an enclosed rear garden with lawn, decking and patio, mains gas central heating and sealed-unit double glazing. The house is freehold, EPC C and in Council Tax Band B. Transport links are strong and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach.
Important facts to bear in mind: the plot is small and the area records above-average crime and higher deprivation indices, which may affect long-term resale and running costs. The cavity walls appear to have no insulation (assumed), so improving thermal performance could be advisable. Overall, this is a solid family home or buy-to-let opportunity for someone prepared to carry out targeted upgrades to maximise comfort and value.
