THE HOME
Two reception rooms with bay windows and fireplaces, a kitchen over 6m long, a ground-floor principal bedroom with the main bathroom next door, and a WC off the rear lobby. Upstairs are two further double bedrooms and a second bathroom. Outside: an integral garage, a driveway behind a gated front garden, and a private, fenced rear garden with a lawn, patio and greenhouse.
The property has been well looked after but is dated throughout, with original kitchen and bathroom fittings, and needs full modernisation.
FOR DOWNSIZERS
You could live entirely on the ground floor here: two reception rooms, the kitchen, the principal bedroom, the main bathroom and a WC are all on one level, with parking at the door and a garden that's private without being too much to manage. The two bedrooms and bathroom upstairs are ready for visiting family or could become a hobby room or office. Buy it with no chain, modernise it to your own taste and stay in Sunniside.
FOR RENOVATORS
The layout, plot size and garage give plenty of room to work with: opening up the kitchen and dining room, upgrading the dormer level or extending (all subject to planning and building regulations). Recent detached sales in Sunniside give an idea of values for good-condition homes:
24 Hole Lane – 3-bed detached house – £465,000 – August 2025
17 Primrose Drive – 4-bed detached house – £427,000 – August 2025
16 Primrose Drive – detached house – £412,500 – August 2026
30 Primrose Drive – 4-bed detached house – £405,000 – February 2026
Hightrees, Gateshead Road – detached house – £382,500 – July 2026
These five sales averaged £418,400, or about £311 per sq ft (HM Land Registry via PropertyData, August 2025 – August 2026). They are houses rather than bungalows, and their condition is unknown. Buyers should make their own assessment of resale values and refurbishment costs.
LOCATION
Streetgate sits on the edge of Sunniside village, with Whickham, the Metrocentre and the A1 a short drive away for shops and road links into Newcastle and Gateshead. Village shops, the bus routes and open countryside are all close by.
BUYING AT AUCTION
Buying at auction is quicker and more certain than a normal sale. When the auction ends, contracts exchange immediately and completion takes place within 28 days, so make sure your funds or mortgage are ready and a solicitor has checked the legal pack before you bid. If you need a mortgage, speak to a lender or broker early, as not all can complete within 28 days.
AUCTION TERMS
Sold under unconditional auction terms. Contracts exchange when the auction ends and completion must take place within 28 days.
Deposit: 5% of the purchase price (minimum £3,600), non-refundable, contributing towards the purchase price.
Buyer's premium: 2.4% inc VAT (minimum £3,600 inc VAT), non-refundable and payable in addition to the purchase price.
Legal pack: free to download from the lot page. Please read it, including the special conditions, before bidding, and take legal advice if unsure.

DISCLAIMER
These particulars are a general guide only and do not form part of any offer or contract. Measurements, floor areas and distances are approximate. We have not tested any services, appliances or fittings, and buyers should rely on their own inspection, surveys and legal advice rather than on these particulars.
Sales and rental figures come from third-party data (HM Land Registry and PropertyData) and are given for guidance only. They are not a valuation and do not guarantee any value, rent or return.
A guide price is an indication of the seller's current minimum acceptable price at auction and may change. The reserve is the seller's minimum acceptable price and is expected to be no more than 10% above a single-figure guide. All information is believed correct at the time of writing, but buyers must make their own enquiries and read the legal pack before bidding.
