Heritage Cottage Charm without the restrictions, Walk to Everything Location – Cafes, Post Office, Restaurants & IGA Grocer, a Town on the Change!
Imagine if you could have bought in downtown Morpeth or Catherine Hill Bay before they went ballistic in price.
West Wallsend has that same step back in time, lovely little country town feel, with a real rural flavour, there’s even a local saddlery shop, yet it is literally on the doorstep of the major growth areas of Newcastle, with Cameron Park and Glendale just minutes away, so work and infrastructure are oh so close by.
Here you don’t feel like you’re living in the “burbs” or the “big smoke”, you can literally walk to everything, from cafes and antique shops to the local grocer, pharmacy and school and if you don’t drive, that’s no problem whatsoever, as the bus stop isn’t far from your door.
There’s a real sense of community here and you can feel the town is on the cusp of change, in all the right ways, without losing its integrity and historical feel.
So beat the crowds, before they discover the place and the town is really on the map, and grab yourself an incredible bargain!

I can picture a little tea rooms house here, or a charming work from home surgery, studio or wellness clinic, or perhaps a future cottage industry business you run from home, all would be subject to council approval, but it’s nice to think about all of your options and the potential!
While there are a few flaws, the blessings far out weigh them and then there’s that super budget beating price point that makes you forgive the little things, that yes you could get somewhere else, but they’d be in a boring, suburban blah, blah blah house and who wants that?
