Description

Heywoods Estate Agents welcome to the market this fantastic two bedroom semi-detached home on Vicarage Crescent, Newcastle, a property that occupies a generous corner plot and offers far more space and versatility than may first appear. Much loved by the current vendors, this is a home with a warm, welcoming feel throughout, combining comfortable living accommodation, a ground floor extension, driveway parking to the front and a beautifully arranged garden, all within easy reach of UHNM, Newcastle town centre, local amenities and well regarded commuter links.
Set back from the road with a driveway to the front and gated side access, the property enjoys a prominent corner position that gives it an excellent sense of privacy and space. The approach is attractive and practical, with the side plot and rear garden adding real appeal for buyers looking for outdoor space as well as a well connected residential location.
Inside, the accommodation begins with a cosy yet bright living room, featuring a large front window that draws in natural light and a fireplace that creates a charming focal point. This is a lovely everyday room, ideal for relaxing, entertaining or enjoying quieter evenings at home. From here, the layout flows into a spacious dining room, another generous reception area with plenty of room for a family dining table, occasional seating and freestanding furniture. The dining room also benefits from a characterful fireplace, giving the space a traditional homely feel while still offering flexibility for modern living. There is also a understairs cloaks cupboard, ideal for storage.
To the rear, the ground floor extension provides a well proportioned kitchen overlooking the garden. Fitted with a range of units, work surfaces and space for appliances, it is a practical and pleasant space with direct access outside, making it ideal for those who enjoy gardening, outdoor dining or simply having an easy connection between the house and garden. The extension is a real advantage, giving the ground floor a more usable and sociable layout than many similar homes.
To the first floor, there are two bedrooms and a shower room. The main bedroom is a particularly good size, with fitted storage and plenty of room for additional furniture. The second bedroom is also well presented and would make a comfortable single bedroom, guest room, nursery, dressing room or home office, depending on the needs of the buyer. The shower room is fresh and practical, fitted with a walk-in shower, wash basin and WC.
Externally, the garden is a standout feature. The corner plot gives the home a wider and more open feel, with a private rear garden arranged for low maintenance enjoyment while still offering attractive planted borders, established greenery and patio seating areas. It is the kind of outdoor space that feels peaceful, usable and full of potential, whether for morning coffee, summer entertaining or simply unwinding at the end of the day.
Vicarage Crescent is a popular and convenient residential location, particularly appealing for those needing access to UHNM, nearby shops, schools, transport routes and Newcastle town centre. With its extended ground floor accommodation, generous plot, driveway parking to the front, charming interior and much loved feel, this is a genuinely appealing home that the vendors quite rightly think is something special.
