Summary - 17 WEST AVENUE GOSFORTH NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE NE3 4ES
5 bed 2 bath Terraced
Large newly refurbished five-bed terrace with south garden, garage and excellent school links.
Five double bedrooms across multiple floors, flexible layout for family living
This substantial five-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace on West Avenue has been fully refurbished to blend original period features with contemporary living. High ornate ceilings, bay windows, decorative cornices, parquet flooring and multiple fireplaces sit alongside a large modern 25ft kitchen–diner with bifold doors, stylish bathrooms and updated fittings. The layout spans multiple levels (including cellar and loft), offering flexible living for a family needing formal reception rooms and separate living areas.
Externally the house benefits from a detached 22ft garage providing off-street parking and storage, a modest front town garden and a south-facing private rear garden laid mainly to lawn with mature planting and a patio — a rare sunny aspect for a terraced property. At about 3,574 sq ft the accommodation is generous for its type and is well placed for Gosforth High Street, local transport links and highly regarded schools, making it suitable for family life and high-end rental potential.
Buyers should note material practicalities: council tax is high (Band G) and the area records above-average crime rates, which may affect insurance costs and some buyers’ perceptions. As a Victorian terrace the property’s footprint and conservation-area location may limit large rear extensions, though the existing garage and garden provide useful space. The house is freehold and newly renovated, so immediate decorative work is minimal, but long-term upkeep of original features should be expected.
Overall this is a refined period family home in central Gosforth offering character, substantial space and a sunny garden; it will appeal to families seeking quality finish, flexible rooms and proximity to top schools and amenities, while buyers wanting low ongoing costs or maximal privacy should weigh the council tax and local crime statistics before viewing.
