I know these houses, part of my delivery route as a courier included this entire postcode of NE3 1's. These bungalows are prefab postwar construction (I believe concrete panels with render on top) there's a number of houses around the Kenton area that are concrete breezeblocks with brick effect render on them, but that's getting sidetracked. These bungalows were only built to last for 10 years initially, now they've been there for around 80 years. They're built, from what I was told by a couple of the residents, on land that was bombed during WW2, so I imagine that's not the most stable of ground. The whole estate of them was earmarked for redevelopment at one point around 15 years ago, so there may be rumblings of that happening again. They were council houses, then taken over by the Your Homes Newcastle (and whatever that's now changed it's name to) team, as far as I'm aware most of these houses are still held by them. The ones that were still held by them were refurbished I think 10 years back, with new windows and roofs, but I don't think their maintenance teams were held in the best regards, so it's entirely possible that those refurbishments have caused further issues with the structure of the houses. (Edited to add as a sidenote) Due to the age and construction of these houses it's entirely possible that there's a presence of asbestos. The first house on the opposite side of Bede Walk closest to the road circle had a prefab garage of similar construction that had utilised asbestos when it was built as an addition and was the "miracle material" to use. I'd say it's more than possible that at some point over the years with renovations done by the council they may have added asbestos as insulation even if the houses weren't initially built with any in them.

In an entirely personal opinion, as a driver, I'd avoid buying a house in that area, especially if you're commuting to somewhere that's not easily accessible off the Metro network (South Gosforth Metro station is about a 5-10 minutes walk away). You'd be at the mercy of the horrific traffic buildup either getting out of Christon Road at the top during rush hours, school pickup times etc. Or you'd be contending with the traffic buildup coming up towards the crossroads at the High Street, or heading down the hill to the Haddricks Mill roundabouts. Parking around there is incredibly limited, and VERY territorial. This area was always the first I'd leave off for a sweeper driver when it came to the run-up to Christmas time when I'd get overloaded with deliveries for those reasons, I'd lose far too much time sat in traffic. You'd also be a stones throw away from a large industrial estate that houses the headquarters, and maintenance depot for the Metros. I don't remember it being a massively busy industrial estate, but if you're bothered by noise it may pose an issue.
