Sanderson Young are excited to bring to the market Jesmond Towers, undoubtedly the finest residential private estate in the city of Newcastle, a stunning mansion set in just under 6 acres of gardens and grounds adjacent to the conservation area of Jesmond Dene.
The property, originally built in the early 19th Century, was extended in 1817 and then again in 1823/27 for its former owner Sir Thomas Burdon, who was the Mayor of Newcastle and a former coal mine owner. The property was later owned by local entrepreneur Charles Mitchell, who enlarged the house further in 1869 and 1884. The property was bought in 1912 by the Filles of La Sagesse, who established the Roman Catholic School until it closed in 2008.
Part of the original school site was then later developed and is now a highly desirable and prime residential estate of luxury houses. The original mansion, known as Jesmond Towers, was purchased by a private owner who remains its custodian till this present time.
Significant sums of over £14 Million have been invested since the purchase in 2009 and there is no doubt this magnificent Victorian style building represents the most unique, special, and fabulous private residence within the city of Newcastle. It has its own private entrances to the north and south, each with their own individual detached lodges, and connects through to the private grounds which are superbly landscaped. The site is also part of the Jesmond Dene Conservation Area.
Jesmond Towers itself is a Gothic influenced Victorian mansion and has Grade II style listed features, as well as offering an ancillary independent apartment and living quarters for staff.
Its stunning interior and architectural design are indeed very special.
The principal house has over 25,500 sq.ft. of accommodation, excluding the lodges and a gymnasium, which was fire damaged 7 years ago and shows a significant opportunity for redevelopment for further ancillary uses.
Priced at £20 Million, this is an extremely rare opportunity to purchase such a magnificent private dwelling within the suburbs of Newcastle.
