A fabulous property constructed in stone, set back from the High Street on the corner of The Drive. Built in the early 19th Century this magnificent stone detached lodge has a fabulous south and west facing private rear garden as well as a front garden open to the High Street. A new entrance has been formed creating a modern contemporary hall and study area which links into the original Lodge.
The Lodge at 2 The Drive was originally built in the early 19th Century and was The Lodge to the former estate of Coxlodge Hall, which now forms part of central Gosforth and many premium residential addresses. This Lodge was one of the original residential dwellings within Gosforth and has a fascinating history. Built in stone under a slate roof, the property is Grade II listed and has a great deal of architectural style and character. It is deceptively larger than its external appearance having been remodelled and extended by the current owner. As a result of these works there is a separate entrance leading from the High Street. A gated pathway leads to the contemporary entrance door and a lovely glazed reception hall and study/office. The hall has a passageway linking to a master bedroom suite which has been newly built in a contemporary style within the rear garden. The master bedroom suite is fabulous with large glazed sliding doors linking onto the south facing gardens. It has a luxury en-suite bathroom with roll top bath and a double shower cubicle, with lovely tiling. Adjacent to this building is a single garage. The Lodge provides a sitting room with bay window, which is south facing, and an original entrance hall linking from The Drive. The kitchen/dining room is a large room well fitted with wood cabinets, granite style worktops and built-in appliances. The kitchen has wood flooring and glazed double doors connecting to the new hallway. The original Lodge accommodates three bedrooms, one of which is used as a study, the main bedroom at the front has an en-suite shower room with modern tiling. There is a modern family bathroom/wc. The property has gas radiator central heating, security alarm system and attractive lighting. The Lodge is very well located being in the heart of Gosforth High Street with access to local restaurants, public inns and bus links into Newcastle city centre. The layout of the property would also work very well for prospective owners who would like to run private medical or dentistry practices, subject to planning. Viewing is strongly recommended.
