This well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached home in Village Heights offers practical family living with elevated River Tyne and Tyne Bridge views. The open-plan lounge/dining room with patio doors flows onto a lawned rear garden and deck, ideal for everyday family life and entertaining. The fitted breakfasting kitchen, driveway and integral garage add useful convenience for commuters and busy households.
Accommodation includes a master bedroom with en-suite shower plus two further bedrooms served by a family bathroom, providing flexible space for children or a home office. The property was constructed around 1996–2002, has double glazing and mains gas central heating, and totals approximately 948 sq ft—an average-sized modern family home on a small plot.
Buyers should note measurable drawbacks: the property has an EPC rating of D, is in an area recorded as very deprived with a high local crime level, and sits on a relatively small plot. Council Tax Band C is affordable, broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, and there is no flooding risk. These facts suit purchasers seeking value, commuting convenience and scope for cosmetic updating rather than a completely new build.
This house is aimed at families or professionals who prioritise transport links to Gateshead/Newcastle and generous internal living space with river views, while accepting some local-area challenges. The home is offered freehold and presents straightforward potential for modernising and improving energy performance over time.
