Newburn House,High Street, Newburn, Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear, NE15 8LN

***GRADE II LISTED GEORGIAN HOME***

An exceptional Grade II listed Georgian residence of remarkable scale and character, set within approximately 0.87 acres of mature, south-facing grounds on the western edge of Newcastle upon Tyne.

Dating from the mid-to-late 18th century, Newburn House is a property of genuine architectural and historic significance. Behind its elegant period exterior lies almost 5,830 sq ft of accommodation, combining the proportions and craftsmanship expected of a house of this era with an unusual degree of flexibility for modern family life.

From the moment you enter, the quality of the building is immediately apparent. High ceilings, substantial sash windows, period fireplaces and beautifully proportioned rooms create a sense of grandeur without the house ever feeling imposing. Natural light features heavily throughout, while views towards the gardens provide a constant connection between the house and its impressive grounds.

The ground floor provides a superb collection of reception spaces, allowing both formal entertaining and relaxed everyday living. The principal drawing room is an especially elegant space, complemented by further sitting and reception rooms which can readily adapt to suit family life, entertaining or working from home.

The generous breakfast kitchen forms a natural heart to the property, centred around a large island and offering excellent preparation and storage space. A separate formal dining room provides an impressive setting for larger gatherings, with utility, pantry and ancillary accommodation adding the practicality required of a home of this scale.

A Home of Exceptional Versatility

One of Newburn House's most valuable features is its substantial secondary wing. Connected internally to the principal house while also having independent access, it provides a rare degree of flexibility.

Arranged across two floors and incorporating its own kitchen, reception rooms, bedroom, sitting room and bathroom, this part of the house lends itself particularly well to multi-generational living, extended family, long-term guests or substantial home-working accommodation, while remaining part of the main residence.

The first floor continues the sense of space found below. The principal bedroom is an impressive room in its own right, complete with period fireplace, garden outlook and a separate fitted dressing room. The adjoining bathroom is generously appointed with a freestanding bath, twin basins and walk-in shower.

Further well-proportioned bedrooms retain their own individual period character, while two substantial attic rooms on the upper floor provide further adaptable space for studios, offices, hobbies or occasional guest accommodation.

The Gardens & Outbuildings

For a property so conveniently positioned for Newcastle, the grounds surrounding Newburn House are extraordinary.

Extending to approximately 0.87 acres and predominantly south facing, they have been established over many years to create a wonderfully private setting hidden behind the house. An expansive central lawn is surrounded by mature trees and established borders, with different areas of the garden revealing themselves as you move through the grounds.

More intimate areas include established walled gardens, a pond garden, fernery, fruit trees and sheltered terraces, creating spaces equally suited to entertaining, gardening or simply enjoying the remarkable privacy of the setting.

A noteworthy collection of outbuildings further enhances the property's appeal and versatility. A substantial detached barn provides excellent storage, workshop space or potential for additional garaging. Attached to the main house is a former stable building, currently utilised as a wellness and relaxation space incorporating a sauna. A further detached building comprises an external WC and wood store and presents exciting potential for conversion into an outdoor kitchen or entertaining area, subject to the necessary planning and listed building consents.

A private driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles, while the extensive outbuildings offer a wealth of possibilities for a variety of lifestyle and practical requirements.

Location

Newburn House occupies a distinctive position within the historic village of Newburn, offering an increasingly difficult-to-find combination: the character and grounds of a substantial country-style residence while remaining within easy reach of Newcastle city centre.

The River Tyne and Newburn Riverside Country Park provide attractive walking and cycling routes nearby, while the surrounding area offers a good range of everyday amenities.

A Developers Dream This exquisite property also has a hidden gem. It has planning permission to build a four-bed detached property on the grounds and also to convert the space above the Stables into an apartment. Early viewing highly recommended to not miss this rare opportunity.

Newburn House is far more than a conventional family home. Its architectural character, extraordinary gardens, extensive accommodation and flexibility combine to create one of the area's most individual period residences; a house that needs to be experienced in person to fully appreciate its scale, privacy and setting.
