This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Whaggs Lane, Whickham, presents a mixed bag for potential buyers. Located in a desirable area known for its good schools and transport links, its location is a key selling point. Families will particularly appreciate the proximity to several highly-rated primary and secondary schools within walking distance. Access to transport links such as the Metrocentre is convenient though requires a car.

However, the property’s condition is a significant factor. The provided photographs reveal outdated interiors and the need for extensive modernisation. The kitchen is particularly dated, and the other rooms require updating. While the bathroom appears relatively modern, the overall impression is that significant renovation work would be required before the property is move-in ready.

The property does benefit from a garden which, based on the images, appears reasonably sized and usable. While the exact dimensions aren’t given, it adds a pleasant external space. The overall property is a three bedroom semi detached, which is a typical style and size within this area.

The listing price of £295,000 should be critically evaluated by buyers in relation to the necessary refurbishment costs. While the location is a significant plus, the condition suggests that buyers will need to factor in a considerable budget for renovation work. Without detailed comparable property sales data within the immediate vicinity and more precise square footage information, it is difficult to definitively assess the value for money. The lack of precise plot size information also makes it difficult to accurately calculate the price per square foot or to effectively compare with neighboring properties.

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