Location, Location, Location – Gateshead

Home to the great Angel of the North, one of the biggest shopping centres in Europe, and across the iconic River Tyne from Newcastle is the city of Gateshead.

Village-like suburbs can be found in this bustling city, including the popular Low Fell area. With independent stores to browse, picturesque walking routes to enjoy, community groups to join and a varying selection of bars and restaurants to frequent, the area promises a relaxed atmosphere with the spark of a lively town.

If you’re a lover and supporter of locally-sourced produce, Passion 4 Fruits is a greengrocer which can be found on Low Fell’s main shopping street and gives the option of delivery of fruit and vegetable boxes locally – handy if you’re ever too busy to call in. The store also sells hanging baskets and bedding plants for those with green fingers. For locally-sourced meats, family butcher Northumbrian Heritage Meats opens daily.   

With two florists to choose from, there’s no excuse not to have fresh flowers in your home all-year-round. Both Low Fell Florists and Springfields Florists are located on Durham Road, making them conveniently accessible to stop by for a fresh bunch of your favourite blooms or a gift for a loved one.

The Nest is a friendly café-come community space, offering somewhere to indulge in coffee and cake, as well as enjoy family activities with children. A quiet zone is also available for those who work from home looking for a change of scenery can utilise.

Independent gift store The Dotty House has a collection of bespoke presents for both adults and children, whether for birthdays or special occasions like weddings, christenings and anniversaries. There’s also a beautiful selection of home accessories available.   

Built during WW2, The Little Theatre is a true treasure situated near the leafy Saltwell Park. With regular performances from its resident company Progressive Players, it’s a popular spot for an evening of fun for the whole family to enjoy.

A residential area with something for everyone, Gateshead’s Low Fell is also home to our Park View development. Find out more about the collection of homes available on our website.
