Is Bedlington a nice place to live? For commuting families it has become one of the area's better-value options. The draw is the combination of a genuine town community along the historic Front Street, green riverside walks at Gallagher Park and Bedlington Country Park on the doorstep, and — since the Northumberland Line reopened — a direct train to Newcastle from Bedlington station. The honest caveat is that the Front Street is still recovering after years of high-street decline. The average home sold for around £192,000 over the last 12 months, across 199 sales recorded by HM Land Registry.
Housing is a balanced mix of period terraces, post-war family homes and newer estates, which keeps a budget stretching further here than in Morpeth ten minutes up the road. Several well-regarded primary schools serve the town with Bedlington Academy for secondary, and the A189 and A1068 connect quickly to the A1 and the coast at Blyth.
A proper town community with green riverside walks, a new direct train to the city and house prices that stretch a budget further.
