Covering Felling
Felling sits 2 miles south-east of Newcastle upon Tyne, with Gateshead 1 miles to the north-west and Newcastle upon Tyne 2 miles to the north-west.
Homes in the North East
The North East has terraced housing including Tyneside flats, inter-war semis and post-war estates, so loft conversions, rear extensions and layout changes are popular ways to add space.
