4 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Newcastle upon Tyne

Approaching Astley House you will likely be impressed by its rural position, set within the quaint village of High Westwood. This beautiful, double-fronted, dormer bungalow with double bay windows is set in a private spot, with views of the countryside surrounding it.
Astley House is the former residence of the Westwood Coal-Pit Manager and is close to local walks and is situated close to main commuting road routes.
This beautiful home exudes character and charm and is brimming with quirky features and eccentricities, whether it be the model railway that runs around the perimeter of the garden or the detached photography studio.
The property dates from the 1920's and has stylistic signatures dating from this period, such as the beautiful, tiled flooring present in the entrance vestibule. You then step through to the inner hall, with the doors leading off to the ground floor accommodation, which comprises two front reception rooms, one of which is currently utilised as a ground floor bedroom. The front lounge has a gorgeous solid fuel-burning fireplace. There is also a utility, and ground floor bathroom with a separate toilet, which has a statement retro suite and tiling surround.
There is an additional reception room to the ground floor which could be utilised as a dining area, given its close proximity to the kitchen, or could be used as a cosy snug, with a window that provides a perfect vantage point for taking in the gorgeous countryside surroundings, and could be a great spot for spotting local wildlife.
At the rear of the property, you'll find a charming mid-century kitchen featuring contrasting pink, green, and grey wall and base units, along with a matching work surface. The kitchen includes a breakfast bar and an integrated double oven. It boasts two large windows that overlook the garden and offer views of the countryside. Adjacent to the kitchen is a timber lean-to porch that houses the oil boiler.
Ascending to the first floor, there is a bright and airy landing, and then three first-floor bedrooms, all with stunning views. The rooms have quirky sliding pocket doors, and the largest room has fitted furniture.
Externally the property has a generous wrap-around garden and provides a versatile area which can be utilised according to your needs. There is also a detached structure which was previously utilised as a photography studio and dark room, with heating (currently isolated), electricity and water supply. This versatile structure could be utilised as a home office, or could potentially be converted into a garage, subject to appropriate planning and consent.
The property has double glazing throughout, with aluminium windows to the front two bays, and timber windows in the rest of the property. The property has oil central heating and ducted air. The oil tank is set within the property's garden and fuels the commercial boiler, which has had maintenance and servicing as required and has been run on premium fuel for many years.
High Westwood has a lovely community feel and is perfectly situated for commuting to Newcastle and Durham City whilst also enjoying a rural setting. The area is also popular with people with equestrian interests, and there is development of an equestrian facility in the locality.
The Derwent walk is a short walk away, an extremely popular walking and cycling route between Consett and Swalwell, with fabulous views across the Derwent Valley. Its southern end, at Lydgetts Junction, links to the Lanchester Valley Railway Path, Waskerley Way Railway Path and the Consett-Sunderland cycle route.
Viewing of this characterful home comes with the highest recommendation. Although requiring some work and modernisation, this property could prove to be your blank canvas, to create your dream home.
