A beautiful, Grade II Listed, double-fronted period terraced house in this much sought after and special Jesmond location, converted by the current owners in 1997 into one larger house, from two smaller terraced houses. The characterful house has an attractive double frontage onto a quiet pedestrian walkway, and offers a rare opportunity for buyers. It has a large well stocked front garden giving excellent privacy, and a lovely enclosed rear courtyard with access to the street.
The house has been sympathetically extended, with a stunning architect designed glass garden room/study opening to the rear courtyard, and a small conservatory overlooking the front garden, with access from the dining room through glazed timber folding doors. The dining room together with the larger sitting room provides an exceptionally generous and flexible reception area. The house currently has two double bedrooms and a large dressing room, and could easily be reconfigured back to its original layout as three double bedrooms.

Brandling Village is a designated Conservation area which includes 36 Grade II listed buildings and St. Andrews Cemetery, which is a Grade II Registered Historic Park and Garden. Brandling Village contains some of the best examples of Victorian domestic architecture in the city, with terraces ranging from Georgian buildings to later workers cottages and Arts and Crafts style housing – ‘the design of the terraces is simple and restrained with an architectural integrity and uniformity’ (Conservation area summary, Newcastle City Council).
