Tall along the watchtower

December 01, 2023

IT'S NOT every day that a First World War military watchtower comes on the property market, especially not one that has already been converted into a sea-view home in a coastal town less than 10 miles from one of the country's liveliest cities.

Tall along the watchtower

Seven-storey Tynemouth Watchtower comes with its own observatory and adjoining roof terrace, as well as rooms with bay windows giving views over rooftops out to the North Sea.

It's only eight miles from Newcastle, which is about 30 minutes away by Metro train, but it's the watchtower's position within a few yards of Longsands Beach - not to mention its seven storeys that really makes it stand out.

"For anyone looking to make a statement with their next property purchase, or simply seeking a home with character and history, Tynemouth Watchtower is an unmissable opportunity," says Michael Mortimer, managing director of Hive Estates.

"We're extremely excited to market this one. The watchtower isn't just a house; it tells an important narrative and is part of the North East's history in two world wars."
