Three Bedroom Grade II Listed Georgian Home - Barrington Place, Gateshead, NE8 1XA 10Homes are delighted to offer for sale this three bedroom Georgian home, set behind a generous front garden in Barrington Place. Its dressed-stone frontage, original historic entrance hallway and well-proportioned rooms give the house an individual character, complemented by a contemporary kitchen and bathroom designed to sit comfortably alongside its period features. The owners have taken a sympathetic approach to the newer elements, choosing panelled cabinetry, traditional profiles, warm metallic finishes and a restrained colour palette. These details create a sense of continuity throughout the house, while providing the comfort and practicality of a modern family home. The accommodation includes an entrance hallway, separate lounge, kitchen with a central island and informal dining space, a further dining room, three bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom. There is also a dedicated sukkah space. Ground Floor The original historic entrance hallway is a particularly appealing part of the house. Its original patterned tiled floor brings colour and character, while the staircase, with its dark timber balustrade, carpet runner and traditional stair rods, provides an attractive focal point. Panelled doors and decorative door surrounds carry this character through the house. The living room is a comfortable space to relax, with sunlight streaming through the tall front facing window giving a lovely feel to the room. The generous ceiling height and period proportions add to the sense of space, while the neutral decoration provides a calm backdrop for furniture and artwork. The kitchen combines practical modern design with details that feel at home in a period property. Shaker-style cabinetry, warm metallic handles and glass pendant lighting create a considered finish, while the island provides additional preparation space and somewhere to gather. Built-in ovens, a hob and extractor complete the arrangement. Glass pendant lights with warm metallic fittings hang above the island, which provides additional storage and preparation space. Stacked ovens, a hob and an extractor hood are fitted within the cooking area. Beside the large window, there is space for a table - a lovely spot for breakfast or a morning coffee with daylight coming into the room. The separate dining room provides space for a larger table and gatherings with family and friends. Panelled cupboard doors, timber-effect flooring and lantern-style pendant and wall lights continue the owners’ considered approach, complementing the traditional features while creating a comfortable room for everyday use. First Floor There are three bedrooms, with further decorative details upstairs. The larger rooms feature period fireplaces, framed by painted mantelpieces with moulded shelves and roundel details. The garden-facing bedroom has a peaceful feel, with sunlight streaming through the window and leafy shadows falling across the floor. The fireplace adds character, while the room’s proportions leave scope for your own furniture and decoration. The third bedroom offers flexibility as a child’s bedroom, guest room or home office. The bathroom combines a bath with a separate shower enclosure, a wall-hung vanity and a WC with a coordinated concealed-cistern surround. Large neutral tiles, wood-effect cabinetry and black fittings create a contemporary finish. The shower’s grid-style frame introduces a regular pattern that complements the house’s traditional lines, while a circular mirror and tall heated towel rail complete the room. The dedicated sukkah space is valuable feature and offers significant scope for use as a home gym, additional lounge or ground floor bedroom. Outside and Heritage Established trees and planting frame the approach to the house, with a broad paved terrace providing space for seating and outdoor family use. The frontage is formed from ashlar - carefully dressed stone blocks laid in regular courses. Its two-storey, three-bay arrangement gives the elevation a balanced appearance, with tall windows set within simple stone reveals and a rectangular fanlight above the entrance. Historic England’s description of the listed terrace also identifies Welsh slate roofs, stone copings along the gables, shaped stone supports known as kneelers, and dressed-stone chimney stacks with projecting cornice bands. These details contribute to the terrace’s restrained architectural character. The original five-house terrace was standing by 1824, when Bensham was developing as a semi-rural suburb. Nos. 2–5 were listed at Grade II on 13 January 1983, recognising their architectural and historic interest and their value together as a group. Location and Transport Links Barrington Place is situated in Bensham, with everyday shopping around Coatsworth Road and Saltwell Road and further amenities in Gateshead town centre. The wider area includes the Shipley Art Gallery, Gateshead Central Library and the Little Theatre.
