Summary - 7 DOXFORD GARDENS NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE NE5 3LU
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Affordable project a short commute from the city centre with a large rear garden.
Vacant and chain free, ready for quick completion
This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Doxford Gardens offers straightforward access to Newcastle city centre, being under 3 miles away, and comes vacant and chain free for a quick move. The layout includes a front reception room, kitchen with modern white units, a downstairs family bathroom, two double bedrooms and a single bedroom/study — practical for a first purchase or as a buy-to-let prospect.
The property has genuine value drivers: a large rear garden, a single garage to the front and gas central heating with double glazing. The EPC is currently rated D but the property has potential to reach B with targeted improvements, which could add appeal and value. Council Tax Band A keeps ongoing costs low.
There are some clear, factual drawbacks to factor into any offer. The overall plot and house are small, the area is classified as very deprived with higher crime levels, and parts of the exterior and garden are dated and overgrown, so some maintenance and cosmetic updating are required. The cavity walls appear to have no added insulation, and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so measures to improve thermal efficiency would be sensible.
For a first-time buyer or investor seeking a relatively affordable entry into Newcastle, this property presents a practical project with immediate occupancy possible. Buyers should budget for general updating and energy-efficiency improvements, and check local-area considerations before committing.
