Property description

One of the few remaining grand 3 storey Victorian residences left in the heart of Tynemouth village. Facing north west and surrounded on two sides by pretty little front gardens, this imposing four reception room, six bedroom corner property is a magnificent family house. Location is perfect: two minutes stroll from the beach, two minutes in the other direction to the genteel yet thriving high street.
The ground floor has a fabulous bay fronted dining room; a delightful feature being the traditional light oak flooring set in a diamond pattern with inlays. There is a second traditional bay-fronted reception room plus a cosy family room with stripped oak floors. All three of these rooms have Victorian style fireplaces. Then there is the kitchen; well equipped and fitted with an array of elegant bird's eye maple units; a Michelin star chef wouldn't feel out of place. A glazed door from the kitchen leads out to the walled rear courtyard garden - ideal for al fresco dining.
On the first floor there is a breath-taking living room. Light and airy, and with views across Seafield Green towards the beach front from the bay window, this room is a very elegant space. There is also the splendid master bedroom complete with a sizeable dressing room that could easily be re-jigged to provide en suite facilities. Completing the accommodation on this floor is a large double bedroom and a brilliantly designed period style family bath and shower room.
On the second floor one is drawn to the turreted bay window of another large double bedroom which gives wonderful views, a Victorian dormer windowed double bedroom, and a dormer extension which contains a study/guest room.
Finally there is another superb double bedroom/study.
Room names throughout are merely a guide, for such is the scale of this property spaces are suitable for a kaleidoscope of alternative uses.
Modern practicalities include double glazing and central heating - fired by a new boiler, throughout.
Externally there is a wedge shaped single garage and storage area, potting and bike sheds.
Lovely house, lovely spot - things don't come much better than this!
