The two existing houses were built in the 1960s and 1970s. They have three and four bedrooms, both with open plan living and reception areas.

The driveway, which is gated, leads to the front of No. 15 and continues around to the side for No. 16.

While the houses are gorgeous properties on their own, one reclaimed by nature, the site itself is a real gem for someone looking for tranquillity amongst a bustling town. 

Bath Terrace is around the corner from the high street, which is packed full of popular restaurants, while the iconic Tynemouth Priory and Castle is just an 8-minute walk.

The estate agents say early discussions have been had with the planning department to discuss the demolition of the two houses for residential redevelopment, but these discussions need to be progressed further.
