Beautifully Presented & Substantial Victorian Family Home Boasting Four Double Bedrooms, Three Bathrooms, Five Reception Rooms, Well Appointed Kitchen, Utility Room & Two Private Courtyard Gardens!
Willow House is an extremely impressive Grade II Listed Victorian terraced property, which we understand dates back to 1852. The property has well proportioned accommodation set over four floors and has been extremely well upgraded and maintained during the existing owners tenure.
The property has recently had a full new roof (2024) and all the windows have been painstakingly restored and are in fantastic condition throughout.
This fantastic family home is situated on the quiet Lovaine Terrace, North Shields. Lovaine Terrace is ideally located only a short distance from the Tynemouth Golf Club, as well as offering excellent accessibility to the nearby shopping facilities and restaurants of Tynemouth itself, including the stunning beaches of King Edwards Bay & Longsands Beach, along with the famous Tynemouth Priory. Willow House is also placed close to North Shields Fish Quay and North Shields Town Centre with its shops and amenities. Only a short walk away is North Shields Metro Station and the Shield’s Ferry offering excellent transport links throughout the region.
