Description
Number 9 forms part of the original North Dene House, an imposing stone-built residence dating back to 1853. Originally commissioned by Richard Wellington Hodgson, who later served as Mayor of Gateshead, the building subsequently had an interesting educational history, including use by Gateshead Grammar School, before being sympathetically converted into just seven individual apartments.
The private entrance opens into a useful hallway leading through the accommodation. The living room is an inviting space with an impressive high ceiling, large traditional-style window and plenty of room for both lounge and dining furniture. A feature fireplace provides an attractive focal point. The fitted kitchen has a practical galley-style arrangement with a good range of units, work surfaces, cooking appliances and space for further appliances.
The main bedroom is a generous double, with the high ceiling and large window enhancing the feeling of space and providing ample room for wardrobes and additional furniture.The second bedroom is particularly versatile. Its unusual length provides space for sleeping alongside a sitting or study area, making it ideal as a child's room, guest bedroom or home-working space. Completing the apartment is a modern shower room with walk-in shower, wash basin and WC.
Externally, the handsome Victorian stone building sits within established communal grounds, with lawns, mature trees and planting creating an attractive setting and reflecting North Dene's origins as a substantial private residence.
