Description

Bowson are delighted to present to the sales market, with no onward chain, this simply stunning one-bedroom ground floor apartment, situated within the historic North House, Williams Park, Benton, NE12.

Occupying a prime position off Front Street, the property is close to local amenities, the Four Lane Ends Interchange with excellent Metro and bus links, and conveniently near the Freeman Hospital. The area also offers scenic bridal paths, parks, and leisure facilities, making it ideal for both lifestyle and convenience.

Set within this Grade II listed building, the apartment offers an exquisite blend of contemporary design and period character, perfectly suited for buyers seeking a stylish home in a location rich with history. North House was later part of Ethel Williams Hall, a Newcastle University residence named after Dr Ethel Williams, the city’s first woman doctor, and was sensitively converted into private residential use around 2000.

The apartment benefits from a thoughtfully designed communal entrance hallway, featuring beautiful architraves, archways, and an estimated 12ft ceilings throughout. This leads into a bright and airy living space, where a bespoke Wren kitchen, installed in 2022, takes centre stage. The kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances including a fridge freezer, dishwasher, Zanussi oven and grill, induction hob, and extractor fan. Copper-plated splashbacks and spice racks on either side of the hob add elegance and practicality, while ample work surfaces and storage complete the space.

The lounge provides a welcoming space for relaxation, featuring an electric fireplace styled as a wood burner with a marble surround, and single sash windows that fill the room with natural light. Additional shelving offers practical storage and display options.
The bathroom is partly tiled and thoughtfully appointed with a towel radiator, sink basin vanity, electric shower, and extractor fan, ensuring both style and convenience. A brand-new water tank boiler, installed in March 2026, is neatly tucked away in the hallway storage cupboard.
The primary suite is spacious, with stunning views onto the private courtyard, and also benefits from a walk-in wardrobe.

Externally, the property benefits from allocated parking and access to extensive communal landscaped areas, adding further convenience to this exceptional home.

This apartment represents a rare opportunity to acquire a stylish ground floor home within a building of significant historic and architectural interest, combining period character with modern, high-specification living.

Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality, design, and unique heritage of this property.
