This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cragston Park offers an accessible, affordable step onto the property ladder. The freehold tenure, very low Council Tax (Band A) and an EPC rating of C make it a cost-conscious choice for first-time buyers or a small family seeking straightforward accommodation near good transport links to Newcastle city centre and the A1/A69.
The ground floor has a hallway, a lounge and a kitchen; upstairs are three bedrooms and a bathroom. The property benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating. Externally there are small enclosed front and rear gardens — the rear deck provides a practical outdoor seating area while the front fenced yard will need some upkeep.
Buyers should be aware the house is compact (approx. 722 sq ft) and suited to those wanting modest, efficient space rather than large rooms. The local area scores high for deprivation and is described as “challenged” with renting hard‑pressed workers; viewings should include consideration of neighbourhood suitability. A mining search is recommended for conveyancing confirmation due to regional mining history.
Overall this is a pragmatic, low-running-cost freehold starter home with good transport links and ready-to-live-in elements, balanced by its small footprint, modest plot and local socio-economic challenges.
