Set on Durham Road in the heart of Low Fell, this spacious three-bedroom maisonette blends Victorian character with contemporary finishes. High ceilings, original cornicing, stripped floorboards and a large bay-fronted reception create an immediate sense of space and period charm. The top-floor principal bedroom is particularly generous, offering versatile space for a family bedroom or home office.
The property has been newly renovated with a stylish kitchen (integrated oven, induction hob, Corian worktops) and a striking bathroom featuring a roll-top bath. Practical additions include double glazing, mains gas central heating and fast broadband — conveniences for modern family life. A rear electric roller shutter provides secure access to a private yard and off-street parking, rare for the area.
Buyers should note this is leasehold with an exceptionally long lease (circa 950 years) and very low council tax (Band A). There is only one bathroom serving three bedrooms, which may affect morning routines. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so heating efficiency could be lower than modern builds. Local crime is reported above average, so prospective buyers should view and check local safety measures.
The maisonette sits close to schools, shops, and regular bus routes, with good road links to Newcastle, Team Valley and the Metro Centre. For families seeking roomy period accommodation with contemporary updates and secure parking in a comfortable neighbourhood, this property offers significant practical appeal; those prioritising energy performance or multiple bathrooms should factor these points into their decision.
