Large three-storey Victorian house requiring renovation, minutes from Gosforth High Street.
Over 3,000 sq ft across three storeys and 16 rooms
Spanning over 3,000 sq ft across three storeys, this substantial Victorian terrace on West Avenue is a rare, chain-free opportunity close to Gosforth High Street. Previously used as a community hub, the house offers large, flexible rooms ready to be reconfigured into a striking family home or multi-room rental property.
The layout currently provides five bedrooms, an expansive ground-floor reception that runs the length of the house, a modern-feeling kitchen with pantry and utility, and a single bathroom/cloakroom (previously fitted with a bath). A fully enclosed rear courtyard and a small front town garden add private outdoor space; there is also scope for an attic conversion subject to planning and conservation-area constraints.
Significant renovation is required: the property has been used commercially and needs updating internally to restore residential standards. Important considerations include reconfiguration of plumbing and bathing facilities for a five-bedroom house, likely refurbishment of services, and potential conservation-area controls on external works. Crime levels in the area are reported above average, which should be factored into security and insurance planning.
For families prioritising location, this address places you within walking distance of outstanding schools, cafes, shops and transport links on Gosforth High Street. For buyers who enjoy a project, the scale, period character and freehold status make this a high-potential rebuild in a very affluent neighbourhood, though practical work and planning checks will be necessary before moving in.
