Overview

A highly impressive, mid terraced family home, which represents one of only two similar styles within this impressive development of luxury town houses, originally designed by Bruce Oldfield. The properties were completed refurbished in 2005 and the terrace has become synonymous with high quality luxury living, presenting the finest of Georgian houses in this very convenient location.

This terrace represents one of the largest styles of property available and has impressive half balconies on its front elevation, as well as a town garden and resident’s parking facilities.

To the rear the property has one of the largest mews garages, capable of accommodating four cars and with a self contained apartment above comprising luxury kitchen, living area, double bedroom and bathroom.

The courtyard garden at the rear enjoys good privacy and screening.

Carlton Terrace is particularly popular because of its location in the heart of Newcastle, with immediate accessibility to offices, hospitals and universities.

The house has great style and flair, with very elegant accommodation presented on five floors.  The house is wired for a Bang & Olufsen sound system and some fittings may be available subject to separate negotiation.

To the lower ground floor there is a magnificent day to day living area, with the family room to the centre of the floor with marble fireplace.  The dining and garden room is to the rear under a double height glazed atrium with electrically operated Velux windows and glazed doors leading out onto the terrace.  The family room links through to the kitchen at the front which has painted cabinets, granite worktops and extensive top of the range built-in appliances.  The kitchen leads on to a utility & laundry room, as well as a wine cellar. 

The lower ground floor also accommodates a cloakroom/wc.

The upper ground floor has a superb reception hall with elegant high ceiling.  The drawing room is at the front of the house and has a magnificent marble fireplace.  Glazed double doors link through the music room at the rear, which also has a beautiful marble fireplace. 

To the first floor there are two guest suites.  A large double bedroom at the front with en-suite shower room and a second double bedroom at the rear, also with en-suite shower room.

The master suite is located on the second floor, providing a large bedroom area, his and her dressing rooms with good quality built-in wardrobes and an outstanding en-suite bathroom.
