SOLD SUBJECT TO CONTRACT IN 8 DAYS
Pattinson is glad to welcome to the market this charming three-bedroom semi-detached family home, ideally positioned in the highly sought-after Northfield Drive.
Offered with no onward chain, this well-loved property presents a wonderful opportunity for buyers looking to put their own stamp on a home with genuine character, excellent bones, and exciting potential, including the possibility to extend, subject to the usual planning consents.
Set on an elevated plot, one of the standout features of this home is its exceptional, south-facing rear garden, a true suntrap that enjoys light throughout the day. Beautifully established over many decades, the garden is a horticulturalist's delight, bursting with flowering borders, mature shrubs, and a vibrant seasonal display. Of particular historical note, the stone edging surrounding the bedded areas was salvaged from Killingworth Railway Station during its demolition, a charming piece of local heritage woven into the very fabric of this home. Steps lead down from the property to a well-maintained lawn, lovingly tended and bursting with carefully nurtured greenery. A green-painted potting shed sits within the garden boundary, alongside a paved seating area at the foot of the garden, perfect for making the most of that glorious south-facing sunshine throughout the day.
Internally, the property retains a number of delightful original 1950s features that give it a real sense of history and character, including the original fireplace surround in the lounge (now fitted with a gas fire), original 1950s sliding doors, and a vintage toilet cistern unit. These period touches, combined with the property's solid construction and generous room proportions, make it a compelling prospect for those who appreciate authentic character.
The accommodation briefly comprises: entrance hallway, lounge, dining room, fitted kitchen, utility/rear porch area, ground floor WC, three bedrooms, family bathroom, and a separate WC upstairs. To the front, the property benefits from a block-paved driveway providing off-street parking and an integral single garage. The rear garden is south-facing and exceptionally generous in size.
Located in a popular and established residential area of Forest Hall, the property is within easy reach of local schools, shops, transport links, and the wider amenities of Newcastle upon Tyne.
