Occupying a magnificent plot, fronting onto Whitley Road and cornering onto Tynedale Terrace, is this three storey family home. The property, built in brick under a pitched slate roof has stone bays and beautiful stone lintels and sills, giving a significant architectural appeal. The house occupies a prominent site in this popular area of Benton, with good accessibility into Newcastle and excellent sports facilities which lie close by. The property was purchased by the current owners in 1995 and since that time has seen many improvements. The gardens are a delightful feature, with tall mature trees, shrubs and lawned areas. Access to the property is from Tynedale Terrace at the rear, with vehicular parking and excellent storage space, as well as a double car port and separate single garage. The house has the benefit of gas radiator central system and an alarm system.

From the hall there are three principal reception rooms; a drawing room, a family sitting room and a dining room. All of the rooms are impressive with beautiful fireplaces. Beneath the stairs is a cloakroom with separate wc. To the rear of the hall there is a family kitchen with antique pine cabinets, an Aga and granite worktops. The kitchen leads onto a conservatory and garden room to the side of the property, constructed in 1995.

At first floor level the house has five good double bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathroom or shower rooms. The remaining bedrooms have access to a family shower room.
