This unusually large two-bedroom ground-floor maisonette occupies a striking early-19th-century building with clear River Tyne views, private walled courtyard, and an allocated underground parking bay. High ceilings, tall sash windows and period detailing give the principal rooms abundant character and light, while the generous footprint provides flexible living and dining space.
The layout spans ground and lower-ground levels: a spacious reception room and dining kitchen sit on the main level, with two double bedrooms and two bathrooms below. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite; the second bedroom opens onto the private courtyard — a rare outdoor space for this building type. Close walking distance to the Fish Quay, ferry terminal and Metro, the location is strong for local amenities and coastal leisure.
There are important practical considerations: the property is leasehold, heated by electric storage heaters and believed to have solid stone walls with little or no insulation, so heating costs may be higher than modern homes. The surrounding postcode shows higher local deprivation and elevated crime levels, which may concern some buyers. Council Tax Band D applies.
This home suits buyers seeking character, riverside outlooks and space — either as a long-term home or a specialist investment. While well positioned for transport and leisure, budget for energy improvements and factor leasehold matters into your plans.
