Description
***Please quote TUB330 when enquiring.***
- What the owner says -
“The apartment is situated within the quayside area of Newcastle and is within easy walking distance of the vibrant quayside scene, trendy Ouseburn area and city centre shops, bars and restaurants.
The main rooms of the apartment overlook the cityscape towards the River Tyne with views of the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, the Sage and the Gateshead Millennium Bridge. The living room has a Juliet balcony which opens to the quayside skyline and gives a sense of living in the centre of everything.
The apartment is very peaceful as it is one of only two penthouse apartments on the top floor. As there are no adjoining apartments a lot of privacy is enjoyed.”
