4, Greenfield Place, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE4 6AX

Dating from 1823 and built by R. Maving (probably in collaboration with the great nineteenth century architect John Dobson), Greenfield Place is one of the city’s best-preserved Georgian terraces.

Entered via an elliptical stone carriage arch, the cul-de-sac’s mature gardens, stone flags, and quatrefoil motif handrails create a beautiful setting, and the elegant facades, first floor French casements, and fine doorcases hint at the graceful proportions beyond.

Occupying a coveted Summerhill Square address and oriented south overlooking Summerhill Park, the location is excellent, within walking distance of Newcastle Central Station, Newcastle Helix, and all city centre amenities.

Converted back from flats, this fine Grade 2 Listed Georgian home has been carefully restored over the last three decades with a skilful light touch.

The house displays remarkable integrity, with working fireplaces and shutters, beautiful original cornices and plasterwork, and a rare set of nineteenth century sliding pocket doors.

Careful contemporary interventions blend beautifully with the original plan, and echo the many architectural elements of the past.

Requiring cosmetic updating in some areas, the house has however been re-roofed and repointed in recent years, and the kitchen and all three bathrooms have been upgraded.

Arranged over five floors (plus vaulted wine cellars) the house exceeds 3,800 square feet, and is thought to be the largest single family home on the north side of Summerhill Square, with additional rooms above the carriage arch, creating a quasi-double-fronted arrangement on the upper floors.

The property includes a Reception Hall, an elegant Dining Room or Ground Floor Sitting Room, a Kitchen / Breakfast Room, a delightful First Floor Drawing Room, together with five Bedrooms, a Shower Room, a Bathroom, and a large Laundry Room over the first, second, and third floors.

An Attic Store Room shows potential for use as a further Bedroom or Bathroom, subject to the necessary consents. The Basement includes Two Large Rooms, together with a further Bathroom.

A useful Utility leads to an attached former Garage, presently used for storage.

The outside areas are of particular note and include a mature south facing garden with plum, apple, and wild peach trees, together with a rear courtyard.

Unusually for the location, the property also enjoys exclusive ownership and use of multiple car parking spaces within Greenfield Place.

Representing a very rare opportunity to acquire an important and historic city home of great integrity, viewing is highly recommended.

Greenfield Place historic residents of note have included Robert Stephenson.

During the 1840’s, 4 Greenfield Place was home to the eminent medic Dr William Hardcastle (mentor to John Snow, a leader in the development of anaesthesia and a founder of modern epidemiology).
