Description

This five-bedroom terraced house is currently arranged as one home and has two separate front entrances. The existing layout may offer scope to create two flats, subject to planning, building regulations, legal requirements and any other necessary consents. The property is offered with no onward chain and requires updating. The accommodation includes two lounge areas, five bedrooms, two kitchens and two bathrooms. The ground-floor arrangement has a hallway with under-stairs storage, two bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen, utility area and bathroom. Upstairs are three further bedrooms, a second lounge, kitchen and bathroom, with a rear lobby leading to steps down to the yard. Outside, there is an enclosed front garden and a side yard leading to a rear yard. The listing describes a garage door providing space for off-street parking. The property is understood to be freehold and has double-glazed windows and gas central heating, with Worcester boilers. Buyers considering a conversion or new Tyneside lease arrangement should make their own enquiries about feasibility and required consents.

55out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This five-bedroom terrace offers a substantial canvas, with two separate front entrances and two kitchens already in place. The dated finishes across the living spaces, bedrooms and both kitchens create scope for a light update, while the rear yard could be tidied and improved. One bathroom is older in style; the other is more contemporary. The listing also suggests a possible two-flat arrangement, subject to feasibility and the necessary consents.

At £160,000, the value comparison is incomplete: floor area is missing, so the price versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The £12,000–£25,000 renovation range gives a useful indication of the updating scope, but without floor area or a stated end value the overall economics remain difficult to assess. That uncertainty holds back the score, despite the property’s appealing layout and generally usable-looking spaces.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated finishes and flooring across the living spaces and bedrooms.
  • Update the two dated kitchens and consider a targeted improvement to the older-style bathroom.
  • Explore whether the two-entrance layout could support two separate dwellings, subject to feasibility and required consents.
