The Property
Occupying a commanding seafront position along one of Whitley Bay’s most iconic Victorian terraces, this handsome townhouse combines period grandeur with refined contemporary living across more than 3,300 square feet. One of the last remaining full townhouses on the row, it enjoys some of the most spectacular, uninterrupted sea views anywhere along the coast, taking in the beach, Spanish City and St Mary’s Lighthouse from multiple vantage points within the house. Its location also places it just moments from celebrated coastal eateries, independent shops, and convenient transport links.

Built in 1895, the house retains a wealth of original detail, from stone finials and carved window surrounds to ornamental columns and decorative festoons. Behind these distinctive elevations lies a beautifully reconfigured interior, filled with natural light and thoughtfully renovated throughout. Every level reflects a high standard of craftsmanship, from the bespoke oak staircase to the careful use of natural materials and the sensitive preservation of period features.

The entrance hall opens beneath a pair of original arches and leads into a flowing ground floor layout, where high ceilings and generous proportions define each of the principal rooms. To the front, a formal sitting room enjoys sea views through a wide bay window and centres on a traditional fireplace with multi-fuel stove. Across the hall, a more relaxed family room offers additional seating and entertaining space, again with a multi-fuel stove set beneath a timber mantle. Oak flooring runs throughout, and a rear hallway opens through to a dining room and a light-filled passageway to the kitchen, which also provides direct access to the rear yard. This is a functional and social space, with quartz countertops, painted cabinetry, and a stone-tiled floor underfoot. An adjoining utility room adds further practicality, and there is a ground floor WC discreetly tucked away.

The principal bedroom suite spans the majority of the first floor, cleverly designed as its own apartment-style retreat with space to sleep, relax and dress, all arranged around a curved bay window that captures panoramic views of the sea and promenade. A multi-fuel burner adds character and comfort, while a full dressing room, additional dressing area and luxurious en-suite complete the layout, with a walk-in rainfall shower and underfloor heating. A second double bedroom on this level is served by a modern bathroom with neutral tiling and dual aspect windows.

The second floor reveals a further suite of exceptional scale and atmosphere. Vaulted ceilings, a multi-fuel stove and multiple Velux windows combine to create a bright and beautifully proportioned space with a relaxed coastal feel. A generous walk-in wardrobe leads off the main room, while a deep window seat is perfectly positioned for quiet moments overlooking the ever-changing seascape. The en-suite lies beyond, finished with textured natural tiling and a broad walk-in rainfall shower. A fourth bedroom completes the top floor, enjoying elevated views across the coastline.

Currently arranged as a spacious single home, the property’s size and well-considered layout offer a straightforward opportunity to create three self-contained apartments with minimal structural alteration, subject to the necessary consents.

Externally
To the front, a gated block-paved drive provides rare off-street parking for up to four vehicles. The south-west facing rear yard offers a private outdoor space, along with a useful garden shed and external storeroom.
