Mariners Cottages, South Shields

Nestled in the conservation area of Mariners Cottages we are delighted to offer this Grade 2 Listed Town House that has undergone a sympathetic renovation to preserve and enhance the wonderful features and accommodation of this historic period residence.

Mariners Cottages for along time formed almost the only buildings on the sea front in South Shields and there still is a lovely partial sea view from the main lounge.

Home to Master Mariners and their families, this historic development was created with a vision by local dignitaries including Redhead, Chapman, Ingham and Winterbottom.

Close to the local Marine Parks, cafes, restaurants and all the wonderful sea front has to offer being all just a short walk away, the accommodation is over three floors with the original basement rooms having been rediscovered and reinstated as a lower ground floor lounge and the fitted kitchen diner.

The ground and first floors offer versatile accommodation, currently used as three bedrooms and one reception room with a bathroom, shower room and useful utility.

There are numerous character features blending old and new, from exposed stonework and brick work, some window shutters and sash windows, log burner, spot lighting, herringbone flooring and gas central heating.

Outside from the rear cobbled lane is a single garage whilst the home has a lovely small front garden, restored window well and an enclosed rear yard.

If you are looking for coastal living, period charm and character in an historic setting, then viewing is a must.
