The asking price of £240,000 seems reasonably competitive compared to other similar properties in Hollinside Close, though a more precise comparison is difficult due to missing square footage data for nearby properties. The lack of readily available comparable data in terms of price per square foot makes an exact assessment hard. Given the need for modernisation, the price may be slightly on the high side, though not excessively so for the location.

The property appears to be largely structurally sound, but the interior photos show it is in need of modernization and updating. The carpets, decor, and kitchen are dated, requiring significant investment to bring it to a more contemporary standard. While there is no evidence of major damage or disrepair, the overall condition is not considered excellent. The garden also requires some landscaping work.

Whickham is a desirable suburb of Gateshead, known for its good schools and relatively convenient access to Newcastle. The proximity to highly-rated primary schools (all with Outstanding or Good Ofsted ratings) and Whickham School is a significant plus for families. While not directly on public transport routes, the distance to train stations is reasonable. The presence of nearby shops and amenities would need further investigation, but the overall residential feel and reputation of Whickham contribute to the score.

The property has a garden, which is a plus point in the UK market. While the size is not specified, the photos suggest a reasonably sized, manageable garden, providing some outdoor space. This is above average for properties in this area.
