Barrington Place, Gateshead

This handsome Grade II-listed Georgian mid-terrace, dating from 1790, stands as an exceptional renovation opportunity. Beneath its fine stone frontage lie many original period features, offering a rare canvas for those wishing to blend historic character with contemporary living.

Approached via elegant double wrought-iron gates, the stunning paved front garden steals the show immediately. This generous paved space is a major draw—picture morning coffee, al fresco dining, or a chic seating area framed by artful planting.

Inside, an inviting entrance hallway leads down to a versatile, spacious cellar—brilliant for conversion into a home office, gym or wine room. The living room and open plan dining room, both facing the front garden, offer excellent scope for reconfiguration – perhaps an elegant open-plan reception space. While there’s a refitted kitchen and sheltered yard, these spaces are ready for a full modernisation or potential extension to create a contemporary hub for family life.

Upstairs, an L-shaped landing gives access to four well-proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom. These rooms hold real potential to be transformed: imagine bespoke ensuites, dressing rooms or luxuriously styled bedrooms infused with natural light.

Outside, the paved front garden and off-street parking via the gated entrance make an immediate impression. The rear courtyard, accessed from the rear lobby, could be reinvented as a peaceful retreat or sleek urban garden.
