Landmark Grade I tower with parking, courtyard and panoramic Tyne views..
Grade I listed medieval gate tower with landmark Tyne Bridge views
An exceptionally rare standalone commercial asset set within Sallyport (The Tower), a Grade I listed medieval gate tower with panoramic River Tyne and Tyne Bridge views. Arranged over ground and first floors, the 1,649 sq ft space offers high Georgian ceilings, large arched windows and bright, characterful rooms that suit creative operators, small professional firms or investors seeking a landmark city-centre holding.
Practical positives include onsite off-street parking, a large enclosed courtyard and an orchard — unusual for a central location — plus current business-rates exemption which may reduce initial operating costs. Excellent transport links and immediate proximity to Quayside, cultural venues and central stations make this a highly prominent site for occupiers seeking profile and footfall.
Buyers should note material constraints: Grade I listing means any alteration or change of use will face strict consent requirements and may restrict redevelopment potential. The property is offered by long leasehold (125 years from 17 Aug 2015) — buyers must review lease details and potential service/repair liabilities. Internal provision is limited (one bathroom recorded) and the building’s medieval fabric will require specialist maintenance and likely higher conservation costs.
The Tower offers an uncommon combination of historic presence, landmark views and central convenience. It will appeal to investors wanting a distinctive long-term city asset or to creative/wellbeing operators prepared to work within listed constraints and invest in conservation-led refurbishment. Alternative uses may be possible subject to planning and listed-building consents.
