Property description
Jonathon Lewis have pleasure in offering to the sales market this rarely available, outstanding four storey Townhouse situated on the desirable Bath Terrace, Seaham. This Grade II listed residence is situated on the picturesque seafront with unspoilt views of the lighthouse, harbour entrance and beaches. The property is a fine example of Georgian architecture and grandeur with its generous proportioned rooms, bay windows and high ceilings, offering a light and airy feel throughout. The property is steeped in history dating back to c1830 when the 3rd Marquess of Londonderry envisaged a wonderful and magnificent town designed by the famous 19th-century English architect, John Dobson. A shortage of cash prevented this grand plan and better quality houses were only built on North Terrace and Bath Terrace. John Dobson became the most noted architect in the North of England. During his career he designed more than 50 churches and 100 private houses. However, he is best known for designing Newcastle Central Station and for his work with Richard Grainger developing the centre of Newcastle in a neoclassical style. Bath Terrace was styled on Georgian Townhouses in London and Bath, and has a unique place in Seaham Harbour's heritage, situated on one of the finest Georgian style terraces in the North East. In more recent years the property has been extensively updated whilst retaining many spectacular original features, with gas central heating by way of a combi boiler, double glazing, and modernised kitchen and bathroom. The property consists of two grand reception rooms, modern and spacious breakfasting kitchen, dining room, two large bedrooms, family bathroom, shower room, and large attic bedroom. Externally the property benefits from a delightful courtyard, outdoor buildings and a large garden. The views from this property are simply outstanding. Bath Terrace is the perfect location for strolls along the sandy beaches, quaint cafe's, the Terrace Green, shops, bistro's and newly redeveloped marina. The property is also nearby to many local amenities including two supermarkets, banks, railway station and good schools. The area of Seaham offers easy access for commuting to the A19 travelling both North and Southbound, is only minutes from Sunderland City Centre, approximately 30 minutes from Newcastle upon Tyne and 20 minutes from Durham.
