18 Northumberland Avenue, Gosforth
Newcastle upon Tyne NE3 4XE
SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
No. 18 Northumberland Avenue provides one of the most
exceptional semi-detached houses we have had the
pleasure of viewing within the centre of Gosforth. The
property was purchased by the current owners in 2009
and has undergone significant renovation works to create
a stunning one-off luxury home. The property has a
deceptive frontage onto Northumberland Avenue, with a
relatively narrow approach to the house, where there is
good car parking and access to the integral garage. The
rear of the plot has two to three times the frontage of the
Northumberland Avenue entrance and has a significant
south and west facing professionally landscaped garden,
with beautiful terraces, an outdoor audio system and
stunning planting.
The house has been refurbished to a standard rarely seen
in properties under £2 million within the heart of Gosforth.
The standards that have been set and the quality of the
design are simply stunning. The accommodation includes
a superb entrance reception hall with cloakroom/wc and a
porcelain limestone floor. The drawing room is at the front
of the house and has a Chesney fireplace. An open
archway leads through to the dining room with double
doors onto the garden and a Chesney fireplace. The
kitchen is magnificent; designed and fitted by Herrington
Gate with a range of walnut base, wall and drawer
cabinets and Siemens appliances. The kitchen is open in
turn to the garden room, with three sets of double doors
leading out onto the terrace and gardens. The utility &
laundry room is to the front and side of the house and
connects to a gardener’s wc, as well as the large integral
garage.
Access is at the front of the house, with an apex roof to
the entrance canopy and a tall panelled door with etched
glass leading through to the entrance reception hall.

archway connects from the drawing room to the dining
room.
To the first floor of the property the master bedroom has a
Herrington Gate supplied dressing room and en-suite
bathroom. There are two further double bedrooms to the
first floor; one at the rear with an en-suite bathroom and
the third to the side and rear of the house with a dressing
room and shower room.

the roof space, with en-suite shower. The landing leads to
a large luggage store room and a staircase connects to a

surveillance camera system. The Villeroy & Boch supplied
bathrooms are complemented by very tasteful tiling and
underfloor heating. The design of this house has been
very well thought through.
No. 18 Northumberland Avenue is exceptional. It is a
