Seller Insight

Holly House is a very impressive house which, to my delight, has never been extended. As a consequence, it has all the charm you’d expect from a period property. It has the most beautiful entrance hall with a Mahogany central staircase, galleried landing and oak panelling; when my late husband first walked in his immediate words were, “I’ll buy it,” explains the owner. ‘For a house so close to the city centre, it has a large garden and, most unusually, it occupies two plots.’

‘The location is so convenient, and one can be in the centre of Newcastle using public transport within about 15 minutes. I regularly walk into the centre cutting through the lovely park areas; on the doorstep are Jesmond Dene, Armstrong Park and Heaton Park.’

‘Every public amenity one could need is close-by, from schools and shops to restaurants and bars. Newcastle Airport is just a twenty-minute drive away, Newcastle Central Station is fifteen-minutes away and it only takes ten-minutes to reach the A1 motorway.’

‘The area around Holly House is vibrant but within the house and grounds there’s plenty of privacy and peace and quiet.’

‘I have good neighbours whom I speak to often – I always feel I can call on them for help when it’s needed.’

‘Many upgrades have been undertaken such as a new roof, a total re-wire, and new kitchens and bathrooms.’

‘Holly House is excellent for entertaining, with a choice of good-sized sitting rooms and eating areas.’

‘I’ve loved all aspect of living here and have especially enjoyed the spaciousness and the views from the upstairs windows – one can see such a long way.’*
