Myrtle Street, Ashington

This is a substantial mixed-use project: the five-bedroom home sits alongside a separate former retail space, giving a buyer scope to refurbish the accommodation and decide how best to bring both parts into use. The living and bedroom finishes are dated, both pictured bathrooms have older fittings, and the retail interior and rear yard need attention; the £45,000–£85,000 renovation range reflects a full-scale programme rather than a cosmetic update. The brick frontage and roofline appear average in the images, with no definite structural failure evident.

The asking price is £98,000, but floor area is missing, so value against local £/sq ft cannot yet be judged. The score is therefore low overall, with price/value and project condition limiting the opportunity; the mixed-use format and five-bedroom accommodation are the clearest attractions. The listing describes an auction, so this is a guide price, and bidding can take the hammer above the guide, meaning the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
