*** NO FURTHER VIEWINGS *** SPACIOUS THREE/FOUR BEDROOM MID-TERRACED HOME – GENEROUS LIVING ACCOMMODATION – EXCELLENT POTENTIAL
An incredibly spacious and versatile three/four bedroom mid-terraced family home, situated on Grace Street in the established residential area of Byker, Newcastle upon Tyne. Offering generously proportioned accommodation, high ceilings, period features and considerable scope for personalisation, this substantial property presents an excellent opportunity for families, first-time buyers and investors alike
Historically arranged as two separate flats, the property has subsequently been configured as one substantial family home, providing an abundance of flexible living space across two floors. Whilst some updating would be beneficial, the accommodation offers an excellent blank canvas for purchasers wishing to create a home tailored to their own requirements
Conveniently positioned within easy reach of Newcastle city centre, the property benefits from numerous public transport connections, with local shops, schools, nurseries and a wide range of everyday amenities accessible within the surrounding area
The Accommodation
Ground Floor
A welcoming and generously proportioned entrance hallway, with laminate flooring, provides access to the principal ground floor accommodation
The impressive open-plan living, sitting and dining accommodation is undoubtedly one of the property's standout features. Offering an abundance of space for everyday family life, the arrangement incorporates distinct areas for relaxing, dining and entertaining
High ceilings, picture rails and feature fireplaces introduce character and a sense of period charm, whilst laminate flooring provides continuity throughout the living areas
The dining area benefits from glazed patio doors opening directly onto the enclosed rear yard, allowing natural light into the accommodation and providing a convenient connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces
The kitchen has been refreshed and offers a practical arrangement of base units complemented by oak-effect laminate worktops and tiled splashbacks. Dual-aspect windows to the side and rear elevations provide plenty of natural light
Additional features include a stainless steel sink, space for a freestanding gas cooker and fridge freezer, together with plumbing for a washing machine
First Floor
The generous proportions continue to the first floor, where there are three spacious double bedrooms together with a further good-sized room, also capable of accommodating a double bed
This fourth room is accessed through one of the bedrooms and offers flexible accommodation, whether used as an additional bedroom, nursery, dressing room or home office
The bedrooms benefit from double-glazed windows and central heating radiators
Completing the first-floor accommodation is a fully tiled family bathroom fitted with a white suite and electric shower, together with a particularly useful large linen storage cupboard
From the first floor there is access to a substantial loft which is part boarded with sky lighting offering excellent storage or potential for conversion subject to the necessary consents
Externally
To the front of the property there is ample on-street parking
To the rear is a generously sized enclosed yard, laid to concrete and benefiting from timber gated access to the rear lane
This substantial outdoor area offers considerable scope for improvement, whether creating an attractive low-maintenance town garden, an outdoor entertaining area for alfresco dining or potentially providing off-street parking, subject to any necessary permissions and suitable access arrangements
An Opportunity with Potential
With its substantial proportions, character features and adaptable layout, this property offers considerably more flexibility than many conventional terraced homes
The accommodation would benefit from some modernisation, presenting an excellent opportunity for purchasers to introduce their own style and improvements over time
Of particular interest to investors, the property was historically arranged as two flats, and there may be potential to reinstate this configuration, subject to the necessary planning permissions, building regulations and other relevant consents
Whether seeking a spacious family home, a first-time purchase with room to grow or an investment opportunity, this substantial property is certainly worthy of closer inspection
