It's being touted as "one of Jesmond’s most highly regarded and individual detached residences" with almost 3,000 square feet of internal accommodation.
There are also two generous reception rooms, manicured surrounding gardens, a private south-west facing courtyard and four bedrooms.
Entrance to the house is through secure electronic entrance gates and it, of course, has its own private driveway.

If Jay Gatsby was to throw a party in Newcastle, he would no doubt have wanted to host in the Jesmond Dene mansion.
Ashbourne has its own fascinating history too.
The Rightmove description reads: "Ashbourne, which is nestled on the very edge of Jesmond Dene, is thought to have been originally constructed for the Lord Mayor of Newcastle in 1934 and enjoys a fantastic plot in an extremely secluded position within Jesmond and is ideally situated at the tip of Glastonbury Grove and Jesmond Dene Road.
"This individual home, which was purchased by the current owners in 2005, has since undergone a series of modernisations and updates and now offers one of the largest, single storey living properties within central Jesmond and Gosforth."
