Forest Close is an exclusive new development of three newly built dormer bungalows, and one completely refurbished detached house in the heart of the popular Newcastle suburb of Forest Hall, set off West Croft Road.
The impressive three bedroom dormer bungalows benefit from two parking bays, plus additional visitor parking, a fully fitted modern kitchen, an impressive tiled bathroom with separate en-suite and generously sized gardens.
The property also includes three bedrooms, an alarm system to ensure the upmost safety, and a turfed rear garden offering the perfect and private outdoor spot. All four properties in the Forest Close development are accessed via a private, full paved, gated driveway off West Cross Road, creating an extremely private and peaceful area for residents.
Forest Close is situated in Forest Hall, a town in the borough of North Tyneside. It is a north eastern suburb of Newcastle upon Tyne and lies a mere six kilometres from the bustling city centre. Its location provides the perfect mix of calm suburban living and the ability to commute or visit the vibrant city of Newcastle easily via car or public transport.
Historically, Forest Hall is home to the grade II listed building of Dial Cottage, which was the home of infamous railway pioneer George Stephenson between 1804-1823. Dial Cottage, located on Great Lime Road in Forest Hall was the birth places of one of the world’s earliest locomotives, named the Blücher, as well as several others which ran on the Killingworth Colliery from 1814. The track bed is now a public footpath which can be accessed from Great Lime Road and provides a beautiful walk. The cottage is now privately owned but tours do occasionally take place for those interested in the local culture.
Forest Close is located near many local shops, amenities, and a collection of local primary schools, such as Forest Hall Primary, St Mary’s Roman Catholic Primary School and Ivy Road Primary School. Although there is limited access to secondary schools in Forest Hall itself, residents are just a stone through away from the George Stephenson High School in Killingworth and Longbenton High School.
Forest Hall and its surrounding area offers a wide array of pubs, restaurants and bars including the Flying Scotsman pub, on the former site of Forest Hall railway station. There is also a sizeable public park, with a sports ground, playground and community centre in Forest Hall; and a range of churches covering Church of England, Methodist, Roman Catholic, with a synagogue and a mosque in nearby Gosforth and Heaton.
The area also offers residents convenient access to public transport including a selection of bus services, and access to Benton station on the Tyne and Wear Metro service, all within walking distance of the Forest Close development. Forest Hall also offers access to the A1/ A19 roads presenting brilliant access to surrounding areas and larger towns and the city centre.
Forest Close is home to a small collection of dormer bungalows which are often known as a one-and-a-half storey home, or a chalet bungalow. This property type is ideal for the older generation but is also suitable for those wishing to invest in a property that can stay in the family for years to come. Dormer bungalows by nature are a good investment as fewer are being built owing to the demand for land, therefore investing in something so limited provides a wise investment for homeowners.
Bradley Hall Chartered Surveyors and Estate Agents are marketing the development at Forest Close and are taking viewings currently.
