A rare Newcastle home that’s been featured in Conde Nast Property is for sale…
- Advertisement Feature
When we say there’s a rare property on the market – on this occasion, we really mean rare.
White Knights in Belle Grove Place, Newcastle, is a Grade II listed building with origins tracing back to circa 1512 – it is believed to be the oldest continuously inhabited house in Newcastle, with connections to several well-known historical figures.
But what’s perhaps most impressive is how the property has been updated over the years – keeping all of the Georgian period charm (thanks to comprehensive conservation techniques) alongside tasteful contemporary updates by the current owners.
In a word, it’s beautiful.
The home, which is on the market for £1.5million with estate agent Finest Properties, was picked up and featured in Conde Nast Property – a high accolade.
Let’s take a look…
WHITE KNIGHTS
Belle Grove Place, Newcastle-upon-Tyne
6 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 reception rooms | walled garden | two-bed annexe
THE RECEPTION ROOMS
The main dining room in the home was designed by prominent neoclassical architect Robert Adam and has retained the original ornamental ceiling and cornices. It has expansive bay French windows that overlook the lovely walled garden.
Adjacent to the dining room, the sitting room also benefits from south-facing bay windows with French doors, creating two bright and inviting reception rooms.
THE KITCHEN
Situated at the rear of the house, the kitchen looks like something straight out of an interior design magazine. It’s beautifully styled with rich wooden cabinets and an incredible Carrara marble sink and worktops.
There’s also an adjoining utility room, WC and access to the rear courtyard.
THE BEDROOMS
On the first floor, there are two beautiful bedroom suites – both with restored period features and decorative fireplaces with marble mantlepieces.
The principal bedroom has an ensuite with a standalone bathtub and shower, while the adjacent bedroom also has a small washroom and its own standalone bathtub positioned next to a stained-glass window—dreamy.
The second floor has four bedrooms and a main family bathroom.
THE ANNEXE
The current owners have the annexe configured as a fully independent two-bedroom living space, with the sitting room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and bathroom laid out over three floors and its own external access.
This is perfect for accommodating a dependent relative looking for independence or for hosting visiting friends and family.
EXTERNALLY
Unique for a property in central Newcastle, White Knights offers extensive parking and garaging – there’s a double garage and a single garage as well as extensive gravelled parking and a turning circle.
Accessed via an electric gated driveway, the true heart of White Knights is the magnificent restored walled garden – an oasis in the heart of the city. The garden includes mature trees, manicured lawns and an array of flowering plants. The restored original glasshouse allows year-round enjoyment of the garden.
There’s also a wood-fired bread and pizza oven, which forms the centrepiece of summer entertaining with a large outdoor kitchen and workshop.
