The asking price of £550,000 is higher than the average house price in the area (£482,757). However, the larger plot size and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms are factors to consider. The average price per sqft in the area is £342, while this property’s price per sqft is approximately £335. Considering the need for modernisation, the price may be slightly on the higher side, but not unreasonable given the size and land.

The provided images reveal a property that is in need of modernisation. While structurally sound, the interior decor and furnishings are dated, and some areas appear tired. The bathrooms and kitchen show their age. The overall condition suggests a need for renovation to bring it up to modern standards.

The property is situated in Cleadon Park, South Shields. While specific details on the immediate vicinity are limited, the presence of nearby schools (Harton Primary School, Ridgeway Primary Academy, both rated ‘Good’) and relatively close proximity to Sunderland via Northern Trains (7.21km) suggests a reasonably convenient location.

The property includes a substantial garden area, visible in the provided images. This is a significant advantage, particularly for a bungalow in this location.
