Gorgeous mansion goes on sale in property hotspot sought out by Newcastle United stars

Take a look into the life of a Newcastle United star in this luxurious Darras Hall mansion

A dreamy mansion in a North East hotspot that has attracted some of the biggest Newcastle United players has just hit the market.

The luxurious five-bed property on Darras Road was reduced in price on Rightmove on August 31 and is listed for a cool £1.55 million.

With prices like that, it's no surprise that the area attracts big money earners who impress on the St. James' Park pitch at the weekend.

Newcastle legend Alan Shearer is known to have lived in Darras Hall, as well as Peter Beardsley and Terry McDermott. Sol Campbell and Kieron Dyer have also owned enviable homes in the area.

In more recent times Mike Ashley and Rafael Benitez were spotted dining at an Italian in Ponteland with first-team players.

Whether you're in the market for a big property purchase or just fancy a bit of a nosey at what life might be like for a football star living on Darras Road, take a look through the gallery of photos from this home.

There are bedrooms galore, swanky kitchen and dining areas and an amazing en-suite, as well as plenty of outdoor space.
