About this home

RARE AND UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY - MARSDEN COTTAGE !

A fantastic opportunity to acquire this substantial detached residence, occupying extensive mature grounds in an enviable elevated position. Accessed via a private road from Lizard Lane, the property enjoys outstanding panoramic views across the North Sea, the mouth of the River Tyne and towards Tynemouth Priory and beyond.

Offering generous and versatile family accommodation, the entrance vestibule has a handy WC and opens into an impressive reception hallway with staircase rising to a gallery landing. The ground floor includes a versatile bedroom with dressing area and en-suite shower room, together with a spacious lounge featuring Bi-Folding doors onto the decking.

The focal point is the open plan kitchen and living space, complete with centre Island and further Bi-Folding doors opening directly onto the extensive gardens. A separate utility room provides additional practicality.

To the first floor are two further bedrooms, with the principal bedroom enjoying doors onto a rear balcony taking full advantage of the impressive outlook. A spacious and stylish bathroom and shower suite completes the accommodation.

Externally, extensive mature gardens surround the property, with ample off road parking to either side and a garage. Within the grounds is a separate detached unit incorporating a sauna, steam room and shower.

The property also benefits from approved plans for demolition of the existing dwelling and construction of an executive home, presenting an exciting development opportunity.

Offered with vacant possession, early viewing is strongly advised.
