We are delighted to bring to the market one of the most impressive and private dwellings hidden away in the prestigious Westoe Village area of South Shields. Norman Hurst, built circa 1885 and formerly Tivoli Villa, has been in the same family for a number of years and has been sub divided internally to provide two impressive properties over the three floors with garaging for 8 cars and ample parking with secure gated access from Horsley Hill Road. Sitting on an overall plot of around 0.6 of an acre with possible development potential, this is surely one of the grandest private homes in the South Tyneside area.
