This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Balkwell Avenue offers generous, flexible living across two floors, suited to growing families or those seeking more space. The ground floor flows from an entrance hallway into a bright living room with French doors to the rear garden, a modern fitted kitchen with pantry and internal access to the garage, plus a utility and summer room for extra reception use.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a third well-sized bedroom, served by a classic white-suite family bathroom. The property benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and cavity walls with filled insulation from its 1930s–1940s construction era.
Outside, there is a decent-sized rear garden with lawn and patio for entertaining, and a private driveway plus garage providing off-street parking and storage. Practical local features include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and direct transport links into Newcastle, while the Fish Quay and nearby coastline are short drives away.
Buyers should note this home sits in an area of high crime and significant local deprivation; the neighbourhood classification is “hampered aspiration” and some nearby schools have mixed ratings. The property appears well-maintained but, as with most older homes, buyers may wish to survey for typical post-war issues and to confirm dates of glazing and any mechanical installations.
