End terrace house for sale in Greenfield Place, Summerhill Square, Newcastle Upon Tyne NE4

Dating from 1823 and built by R. Maving (probably in collaboration with the great nineteenth century architect John Dobson), Greenfield Place is one of the city’s best-preserved Georgian terraces. Entered via an elliptical stone carriage arch, the cul-de-sac’s mature gardens, stone flags, and quatrefoil motif handrails create a beautiful setting, and the elegant facades, first floor French casements, and fine doorcases hint at the graceful proportions beyond. Historic residents of note have included Robert Stephenson. Occupying a coveted Summerhill Square address and oriented south overlooking Summerhill Park, the location is excellent, within walking distance of Newcastle Central Station, Newcastle Helix, and all city centre amenities. Purchased by the present owner in 2004, this five-storey Georgian home has been significantly restored and improved. Careful contemporary interventions blend beautifully with the original plan, and echo the many architectural elements of the past. Exceeding 2,900 square feet, the house includes an Entrance Porch, a Reception Hall, a Family Room / Dining Room, a Kitchen / Breakfast Room with an Aga, a First Floor Drawing Room, an adjacent separate Withdrawing Room / Library (or Double Bedroom), a generous Second Bedroom with a large En-Suite Bathroom, three additional Bedrooms, and a Shower Room. The basement includes a large Utility Room, a Cloak Room / WC, and an Additional Reception Room or Sixth Bedroom, with an En-Suite Shower Room. Externally, there is a mature south facing front garden, and a walled rear garden. Resident permit car parking is available in Summerhill Square, within walking distance of the house. Representing a very rare opportunity to acquire an important and historic city home of remarkable integrity and great style, viewing is highly recommended.
