This sympathetically restored three-bedroom Victorian terrace on Olympia Hill blends period character with a practical, modern finish — ideal for a growing family wanting town-centre convenience. The principal reception has a bay window, high ceilings and original fireplace; a second reception opens via French doors to a private rear yard. The recently refitted kitchen includes integrated appliances and a replaced boiler, reducing immediate maintenance needs.
Externally the house sits on a raised, small plot with a lawned front garden and a generous rear yard that could accommodate off-street parking subject to relevant permissions. The layout offers two good double bedrooms, a single third bedroom and a family bathroom with separate bath and mains shower. EPC C and council tax band B are favourable for running costs, and mains gas central heating provides reliable warmth.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the plot is modest with limited front garden space, and the property is mid-terrace (no private driveway unless changes are approved). Local crime levels are described as high for the area, which may concern some buyers. Walls are likely original cavity construction with assumed lack of wall insulation — there is potential and value in improving thermal performance.
Overall this is a well-presented, characterful family home in a sought-after Morpeth location close to schools, shops and transport links. It suits owner-occupiers looking for move-in-ready accommodation with scope to increase value through targeted energy improvements or by pursuing permission for parking to the rear.
