Property description

The importance of this property should not be understated. It is one of the oldest properties in the conservation area and is therefore protected by its Listed Building status. Parts of the property have been lovingly restored by the present owners and internally the ground floor has been altered in order to provide superior family living space.

The façade is pure Georgian with an arched entrance with fan light and panelled windows. The front elevation hides the true extent of this property which is much larger inside than it would seem, this is due to the layout and depth of the house.

The large and open plan kitchen and dining conservatory is the real heart of the home. The kitchen was designed and built by Newcastle Furniture Co ensuring fine attention to detail and solid workmanship. The conservatory, which flows seamlessly from the kitchen, is used all year round and has a dual purpose fan as well as opening skylights. It's where the family start the day for breakfast and dine through the day, it's where problems are solved and books are read at homework time and it is the hub for entertaining, wining and dining. As well as being an ample family home the owners often throw parties and summer barbeques for up to 100 guests. Once outside the grown-ups love the large garden, raised decked area and patio whilst the kids can venture across the gangplank and up into the tree house to plot mischief no doubt! If they are really feeling adventurous they can head off down the private path which snakes towards Priors Park and Collingwood Tennis Club.

With all of this space it is easy to appreciate why the large living room with wood burning stove is almost forgotten about. However, it is warm and snug come those dark wintery nights and days. For the busy family with a million hobbies, sporting activities, clubs and days out there is a very easily accessed boot room just off the hallway. Sandy shoes, wet jackets, cycle helmets, buckets and spades can all be 'put out of the way' so that weekends can be spent enjoying the beach or the garden rather than tidying and picking up. There is also a playroom/office to the ground floor and a handy w.c.

The home has 5 spacious bedrooms located over the top 2 floors of the house. The master bedroom has it's own walk-in wardrobe and stunning views across towards Collingwoods Monument and out to sea and the mouth of the Tyne. The family bathroom has a curved edge bath, his and hers basins and a 'wet area' shower enclosure.

This is a special property, one that ensures even visitors feel at home. This is a very old house but it doesn't feel ancient, similarly it does not feel too modern, it is in touch with it's heritage but it also allows its family the comforts of modern living. Obvious when you consider that the present owners have spent time redesigning parts of this property to allow for a busy family to come and go quickly but also to relax and enjoy just being there. Now it's your turn. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday 20th July at 11:00 - 11:45 where you will be welcome to see for yourself one of the best kept secrets in Tynemouth.
