Roomy top-floor bedroom and flexible layout across six rooms

Area has high crime rates and is within a deprived ward — consider local risks
Set over three floors, this traditional three-bedroom end-terrace offers generous room sizes and flexible living for a growing household. Two reception rooms plus a larger top-floor bedroom create space for family life, home working or hobbies. The house sits close to Saltwell Park, schools and local amenities, with strong mobile and fast broadband for modern connectivity.
The property has character features and practical extras: double glazing (installed post-2002), mains gas central heating and front, side gardens with an enclosed rear yard. It is offered freehold and is within Council Tax Band A, helping running costs. The plot is modest but maintenance is straightforward.
Buyers should be aware this home needs updating throughout: much of the décor and some fittings are dated, and the Energy Performance Rating is F. The solid brick walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation, which will affect heating efficiency until improved. The area has higher-than-average crime statistics and sits within a deprived local authority area, factors to weigh when considering long-term plans.
For those looking to add value, the house presents clear potential: modernisation, insulation upgrades and cosmetic refurbishment would significantly improve comfort and EPC rating. Its location, room sizes and freehold tenure make it a practical option for families seeking space near parks and schools, or investors targeting rental demand from students and professionals in NE8.
