This traditional three-bedroom semi-detached house sits on Downend Road in a well-regarded Westerhope neighbourhood, offering spacious, light-filled living and practical outdoor space for family life. A through lounge with a large front bay window and patio doors creates clear living and dining zones while bringing natural light into the home. The contemporary tiled bathroom and a modern fireplace add presentable, usable finishes.
Outside, the property benefits from a driveway, single garage and a private rear garden with decking, lawn and a storage shed — useful for children, pets and garden hobbies. Easy access to local shops, parks, schools and good transport links to Newcastle and the A1 make this a convenient base for commuting families. Council Tax band C and freehold tenure are practical advantages.
The house was built in the mid-20th century and has double glazing installed before 2002; parts of the property will benefit from modernisation and routine maintenance, particularly interior areas described as dated and slightly cluttered in places. There is a single family bathroom only, which may matter for larger households. No flood risk is recorded and the area has low crime rates and fast broadband.
Overall this is a well-proportioned family home with clear scope for straightforward updating and value-add, ideal for buyers seeking space, parking and a private garden in a quiet suburban location.
