The Property
White Knights is an exceptional Grade II Listed Georgian townhouse, uniquely positioned within a remarkably private and substantial plot in the heart of Newcastle. This extraordinary property is a rare find with a long and rich history and recently subject to sympathetic, comprehensive conservation and restoration by the current owners. The result is a harmonious meeting of period charm and tasteful contemporary updates.
With its origins tracing back to circa 1512 and much of the current structure dating from 1763, White Knights is believed to be the oldest continuously inhabited house in Newcastle with connections to a number of well-known historical figures.
In addition to a workshop, exterior storage room and generous garaging, the property also benefits from a partitioned two-bedroom annexe spread over three floors, providing a versatile living space for family members or guests. Interested parties may wish to secure an additional income stream from the annexe.
It is the abundance of period features within a contemporary setting that give White Knights its unique charm. The main dining room was designed by prominent neoclassical architect Robert Adam and includes elegant, original ornamental ceiling and ornate cornicing, alongside expansive bay French doors that overlook the lovely garden. The adjacent sitting room also benefits from south-facing bay windows with French doors, creating two wonderfully bright, spacious, and inviting reception rooms.
The kitchen, situated at the rear of the house, is beautifully styled with rich wooden cabinetry, Carrara marble sink, worktops and an imposing Chester Radiation commercial gas cooker. An adjoining utility room, WC and access to rear courtyard service the kitchen for added convenience.
The first floor reveals two magnificent bedroom suites, both with period features and decorative fireplaces with marble mantelpieces. The principal bedroom features a well-appointed ensuite with a stand-alone bathtub and shower. The adjacent bedroom also includes a small washroom and a beautiful stand-alone bathtub positioned next to a delightful stained-glass window.
The second floor boasts four well-proportioned bedrooms, providing abundant space for family and guests. These bedrooms are serviced by a similarly well-appointed family bathroom with a stand-alone bathtub.
Annexe
The annexe is currently configured as a fully independent two bedroom. Separate external access ensures privacy for all parties. The annexe incorporates a sitting room, kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom, all laid out over three floors.
This is a great opportunity to accommodate a dependent relative looking for independence, or to host visiting friends and family. There is also the option to use the annexe to expand the accommodation of the main house still further or secure an additional income stream.
Externally
Unique for a central Newcastle property, White Knights offers substantial garaging within its boundary. An electric gated driveway leads to extensive gravelled parking and turning circle.
Beyond this, a double garage and a single garage provide ample room for vehicles.
The true gem of White Knights is the magnificent restored walled garden, a tranquil oasis in the city. The garden's landscaping includes mature trees, manicured lawns, and a variety of flowering plants, creating a serene and private retreat. The restored original glasshouse allows year-round enjoyment of the garden. A wood fired bread and pizza oven is the centrepiece of summer dining facilitated by a large outdoor kitchen and workshop.
