This three-bedroom property in Low Fell, Gateshead presents a mixed bag for potential buyers. Located on Church Road, it benefits from a convenient location within a sought-after residential area. The proximity to several outstanding Ofsted-rated primary schools, along with its relative closeness to transport links, makes it attractive to families and those commuting to Newcastle.

The external appearance of the property is presentable, although the images suggest a level of wear that is common in older properties. However, the internal photographs reveal that the property requires a considerable amount of modernisation and renovation. The carpets and overall decor appear outdated, suggesting significant work will be needed to bring it up to modern standards. The existing kitchen and bathroom, while functional, appear dated and may also benefit from an upgrade.

The property includes a garden of moderate size, making it suitable for families or those wanting outdoor space. The addition of a conservatory adds to the usable outdoor area, potentially extending living space to include a sun room.

The absence of square footage in the listing makes it difficult to definitively evaluate the price per square foot and fully assess the value for money. However, referencing nearby property prices on Church Road and comparable streets in Low Fell, the listed price of £280,000 is, in this location, arguably within the expected range. This is mitigated by the property’s need for extensive refurbishment work, which adds a considerable cost factor to any potential purchase.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
