A Superb, Substantial Family Home With A Large Private Garden - Perfect For Newcastle Commuters. The station is round the corner and Newcastle trains only take 20 mins, making this five double bedroom detached a viable daily commute for work or school.

There’s a lot to be said for living in Northumberland, even if you work or attend school in Newcastle. And living on this popular Morpeth estate gives you the best of both worlds.

Being round the corner from Morpeth station means you can have a quick and stress-free commute. It’s less than 10 minutes walk to the platform and fast and frequent trains can get you into Central Station in around 20 minutes.

That means you can work (or go to school) in the city but get to enjoy a quieter pace of life in a popular market town on the weekends.

It also means you can get a lot more for your money. You certainly wouldn’t get such a spacious family home or a substantial plot with a large (220 m²  / 2,300 ft²) private back garden in Gosforth or Jesmond…

Bankside is a popular 1980’s estate that isn’t only handy for the station - it will only take you 10 minutes to walk down to the town centre.

This large detached family home has a spacious lounge which runs from front to back. There’s plenty of room for a relaxed seating area next to the traditional log burner and space for a dining table at the rear. 

French doors give access to the private south facing back garden, which has a large paved patio area and steps up to a large lawn with a wooden summerhouse in the far corner.

The kitchen / diner has plenty of storage in the traditional solid wood fitted units and there’s space for a dining table which will be perfect for doing homework or midweek meals.

The property is practical too - there’s a utility room which gives access to the built in double garage, along with a downstairs w/c off the hall.

Upstairs has five double bedrooms (two with stylish ensuite shower rooms) along with a gorgeous tiled family bathroom.

There’s parking on the drive for a couple of cars, next to the neat front lawn.

The property is in fantastic condition - ready for you to move in and make yourselves at home. But it also offers you the chance to make changes - with room to extend at the rear (subject to planning permission, of course) and plenty of options if you did want to reconfigure the layout or convert the built in double garage.

Morpeth is a vibrant market town with a good choice of shops, restaurants and pubs along with a leisure centre and swimming pool.

For a wider selection of shops and places to eat, it’s only a 25 minute drive to the centre of Newcastle or the Gateshead Metrocentre.

Morpeth has a great choice of primary schools - all rated either “Good” or “Outstanding” by Ofsted. The King Edward VI Academy (for older kids) is another “Outstanding” school, a real alternative to the popular private schools in Newcastle.

This substantial family home is in great condition. It’s ready for you to move in and make yourselves at home but also gives you plenty of scope if you did want to make changes to put your own stamp on the place. 

I’m expecting plenty of interest from discerning families.
