37 Montagu Avenue is a very special and rare detached family home in the heart of Gosforth, boasting a number of original features. This lovely property has been owned by the same family for 55 years, they are only the second owners following the family who built the home to their specification in 1934. This unique property, which is in need of some updating, was a fabulous example of the architecture of this period with its Art Deco influences, striking green pantiled roof and curved walls. A very significant feature of this fabulous home is its magnificent south facing garden site which extends to 0.413 acres and adjoins the wonderful open spaces of Newcastle’s Nuns Moor. Three of the bedrooms enjoy views over the stunning south facing garden.
