The Morpeth Advantage Most Newcastle Commuters Haven't Worked Out Yet. Just half an hour to Central Station, a stylish corner plot semi with a large private garden and “One Of The UK’s Best Places To Live” right on your doorstep. If you missed this one last year, here’s your second chance.

Morpeth keeps getting voted in the "Best Places To Live" lists (the last one was The Times, just this year - the second year in a row). And it's easy to see why. A market town with its own buzzing high street, riverside walks and a genuine friendly community feel. 

And it’s only 20 minutes from Newcastle by train, with direct connections to London and Edinburgh. Commuting to work or school is easy.

This upgraded semi on Willow Close sits right in the middle of it. The station is only a ten minute walk away. The town centre is just another five minutes beyond that - with coffee shops, pubs, restaurants, independent shops, M&S…all of it nearby without needing the car.

Inside, the ground floor flows from a sitting room at the front through to an open kitchen and dining area at the back - with oak-effect flooring running through, shaker-style units in a soft warm tone, a range cooker and integrated fridge-freezer.

The kitchen island doubles as a breakfast bar, which means the space works for a quick morning coffee just as well as it does for hosting on a Friday night.

A separate dining area sits between the kitchen and the conservatory, with French doors opening through. The conservatory itself faces west - it catches the afternoon and evening sun, and looks directly onto the garden.

Off the kitchen, a dedicated utility room keeps the washing machine and tumble dryer out of sight, with a ground floor WC alongside it.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is a good size, with a cleverly hidden away walk-in wardrobe that takes up what would otherwise be wasted space - and means the room itself stays calm and clear. 

Two further bedrooms give you the flexibility of a home office if you need one, and the shower room has been done properly, with clean tiling and a stylish modern finish.

The garden is another of the genuine selling points here. Corner plots don't come up often, and this one has been made the most of - there’s a large lawn, a paved seating area, established planting and a beautiful apple tree. 

Facing west means you can be out there long into the evening in summer. There's also parking on the drive at the front.

Morpeth keeps getting names as one of the UK's best places to live, and you can see why from about ten minutes of walking around it. 

The schools are well-regarded - King Edward VI Academy takes pupils from 13 and has a strong reputation across the county - and the town has everything you'll need day to day.

Whether you missed out on this one last year or are just starting to look for your next move, I’m expecting plenty of interest so get in touch to arrange a viewing.
