IT’S not often you find a five-bedroom family home with a home cinema, indoor pool, and all close to Newcastle city centre, with panoramic views towards the Millennium Bridge.
One couple managed to find just that and have enjoyed seven happy years in their detached property in Gateshead. Now their family have grown up and flown the nest, Gordon and Maria Moore are looking to sell their home to downsize. The house is one of two in a small development in the heart of Gateshead. Finished to a high specification, the property has solid wood flooring and a home entertainment system. Set in about an acre of land, the property occupies an elevated site and is reached via electronically operated gates. And what’s more, the sale includes planning permission for an additional five-bedroom home. Just five minutes’ drive from Newcastle city centre, the property offers the perfect combination of suburban and city life. Maria said: “The house is in a great location. It’s just five minutes from Newcastle and the MetroCentre, yet enjoys a really tranquil setting. The house was bend new when we moved in and finished to a really high standard. “The new owners could move in without having to do any work. The house offers really flexible living accommodation and can be changed to suit individual family needs.” Accommodation includes an entrance hall with solid wood flooring and a large lounge with inglenook housing a woodburning stove. Maria’s favourite part of the property is the fantastic leisure suite, which comprises a heated indoor swimming pool with patio doors and a family/cinema room. There is an attractive dining room with patio doors, and breakfasting kitchen with cherrywood units and a utility room. Upstairs there is a master bedroom with dressing room and en suite shower room, second bedroom with en suite shower room and three further bedrooms. There is also a family bathroom. The panoramic views over Gateshead and Newcastle are a particular feature of the property. “We have a large timber decked area, which is a great space for entertaining. You can look across Gateshead to the Millennium Bridge and River Tyne,” said Maria. There is also a private back garden and driveway providing parking. Maria said: “The children have all left home now, so we’re looking for a smaller property in Gateshead. I’ll really miss all the space, especially the wonderful views.” 1 Moore Park is for sale through Suzanne Graham at offers in the region of £600,000. Tel: (0191) 491-0009. |
