Rectory Terrace, Gosforth

Upon entering, you’re greeted by an entrance vestibule leading into a welcoming hallway, setting the tone with its original details and character. The bright front sitting room is an inviting space, featuring a large bay window and a striking pink marble fireplace. Adjacent to this, the formal dining room, currently used as a library, retains its own original fireplace, characterful coving, and period charm. Towards the rear, a breakfast room creates a cozy setting for casual dining and seamlessly flows into a large, extended kitchen. The kitchen, with its flagged flooring and abundance of natural light, overlooks the rear garden and provides ample space for modern family living.

Moving to the first floor, a split-level landing leads to the well-appointed family bathroom with a corner shower, bath, and hand wash basin, as well as a separate WC. This floor also includes a bedroom with views over the rear garden.

On the upper landing, there are two spacious double bedrooms, including the master which boasts an elegant bay window. A smaller fourth bedroom with a front-facing aspect completes this level.

The second floor offers further flexibility with a spacious bedroom currently configured as a study. This space could easily be converted back into two separate bedrooms, with the original doors still intact. An original top landing cupboard and a loft storage room add practicality and potential, allowing space for future modifications.

Period features are abundant throughout, with original doors, coving, ceiling mouldings, and ceiling roses lending a timeless elegance. The original staircase, adorned with a beautiful newel post, winds gracefully through the house. Both the ground and first floors benefit from double glazing, while the attic rooms feature dormer and Velux windows, enhancing natural light throughout the home. The property offers ample potential for a range of buyers.

Externally, the front garden is a testament to the previous owner’s love for horticulture, with a well-tended lawn, mature plants, and fruit-bearing apple trees. The rear garden, designed for easy maintenance, is paved and surrounded by a variety plants. At the end of the garden lies a garage with an electric up-and-over door, accessible via the rear lane and large enough to accommodate a family car.

There is additional public parking available at the front of the property.
