Description
Location:
The property is located in a prominent position on the northern edge of the main campuses for both Newcastle and Northumbria Universities, in the Civic area of the city.
The property is within a 5-minute walk of the city centre and benefits from close proximity to the A167 Central Motorway, connecting the area to the wider city road network.
The area is characterised by a varied mix of University buildings, residential, office and leisure occupiers, creating a thriving, characterful environment throughout the day and evening.
This part of campus has very high footfall from Newcastle University students travelling between the Jesmond residential area and the Philip and Marjorie Robinson Libraries, which are within close proximity.
Description:
A terraced building, separated into six buildings, which each have their own entrances, with no internal connections. The properties were built in c. 1838 and are all Grade II Listed. They comprise pitched and slate covered roofs, with single glazed windows. To the rear are a number of small yards. Public parking spaces are available on Jesmond Road.
The particular features of each building are profiled below:
No. 29 Carlton House - End terrace fronting an area of greenspace. Occupies four floors including a dormer floor. Bedrooms share amenities on each floor.
No. 31 Jesmond Road - Small property, with 11 bedrooms over four floors.
No. 33-35 Carlton Lodge - Mid terrace occupying four floors. Refurbished in 2011, the bedrooms are ensuite. Some bedrooms are particularly large at over 200 sq ft.
No. 37 Jesmond Road - Small property, comprising 7 bedrooms over 3 floors.
No. 39-45 Windsor House - The largest building, comprising 41 bedrooms, over 3 upper floors. There are shared bathrooms/kitchens and the property also has a basement.
No. 47-49 Jesmond Road - End terrace comprising shared amenities. Subject to planning consent, this building may provide scope for extension to the rear or eastern side.
Current Occupation:
The University let the property to mainly postgraduate students. Due to impending sale, students have only been offered a single semester (Sep - Dec 2026: 16 weeks).
Based on the University’s current asset management approach for the building, they have decided to limit occupancy to 11 bedrooms in Carlton Lodge and 78 bedrooms in the remainder of the buildings (The total available bedrooms is therefore 89 compared to the total of 108).
Purchasers are advised to satisfy themselves regarding the occupational potential.
For the avoidance of doubt the property will be sold with vacant possession and the University will not provide a lease or nomination agreement.
Viewings:
Internal viewings will be held via open days. Given the current use, no party should attempt to gain internal access apart from via an escorted appointment with Barker Proudlove.
Disposal Process:
The property has become available following a review of the University’s student accommodation.
The University has a duty to achieve the best outcome from the disposal and will consider the price, the purchaser’s ability to complete a purchase and the proposed use. The University is not obliged to accept the highest, or any offer received.
Given the proximity of 29-49 Jesmond Road to 1-2 Windsor Place and 12 Windsor Terrace, the University is willing to consider offers for three different Lots:
Lot 1: 29-49 Jesmond Road
Lot 2: 1-2 Windsor Place and 12 Windsor Terrace
Lot 3: Both properties
The University’s preference is for unconditional offers, which provide short timescales for completing a sale. Conditional offers will still be considered.
Planning:
The property is Grade II listed (Listing No. 1355274), mainly based on its external features. A full copy of the listing is included in the data room.
Based on current planning policy, it is considered that a range of uses could be acceptable, subject to achieving the necessary consents.
