2 bedroom apartment for sale

Calling all history buffs! Now is your chance to own your own piece of South Shields heritage complete with its own blue plaque! Chase Holmes are proud to be representing this incredible apartment within a grade 2 listed building that is simply bursting with character! Once you’ve taken in the impressive exterior you’ll enter into the communal hallway. Passing under the original stained-glass window, you’ll find a treasure trove of old photographs and stories that tell the tale of what once was the Pilots Office; the main hub for the pilots of the Tyne from 1886 to 1980.

The main attraction still awaits as you journey up to the first floor. Entering into the apartment you’ll instantly notice the beautiful period features have been lovely cared for while updating the property to a more modern age. The lounge is flooded with natural light from two large windows that overlook the walled Victorian garden that is shared with the other residents, and then continues through into a spacious kitchen and dining area. Back into the hallway there are two good-sized bedrooms that boast exceptional views of the river below. Photos won’t portray how beautiful the scenery truly is. The final room on this floor is the master bathroom which has recently been upgraded to a high contemporary design. There is still plenty of property left to explore as you head upstairs into the loft rooms. Two extra rooms are at your disposal to utilise as you please, and you also have the added benefit of a upstairs cloakroom. There are more views to be had from this vantage point as you can gaze upon the Priory on the opposite banks of the Tyne.

The grounds of this fantastic property are also as grand as the home itself. The aforementioned Victorian garden provides ample space to relax in the summer months with a picnic and comes equipped with a private garage for all of your storage needs, plus additional parking to the side.

Viewing are HIGHLY recommended for this unique home. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to have your own piece of history on top of a gorgeous home, call us today to book your appointment!
