"*Best and Final Offers invited by 12noon on Thursday 26th June 2025 to Pat Robson & Co * West Lodge was built in 1836 to designs by the notable nineteenth century architect and distinguished proponent of the Greek Revival style, John Dobson. Commissioned by The Newcastle General Cemetery Company , West Lodge along with the adjacent East Lodge provides the northern entrance to Old Jesmond Cemetery, prominently located on Jesmond Road within South Jesmond Conservation Area. Formed from ashlar sandstone and built in the classical style, the building was Grade Two Listed in 1954, and significantly restored in 1978 as a base for Tyne and Wear Archaeology Department. Latterly reimagined as a unique live work space, West Lodge exceeds 990 square feet and is currently arranged as a two storey apartment and a separate studio, ideal for artists or markers requiring home and work space. Forming the south range of the building the 25ft studio is illuminated by three vast east facing eighteen pane sash windows and features a remarkable double height ceiling. Wonderfully patinated large stone flags run underfoot, and double doors to the south provide a separate independent entrance. The ground floor of the apartment provides a Living Room and Dining Area with glazed doors to the garden, and a separate kitchen. A first floor landing connects to a Double Bedroom, and a Shower Room. Planning and Listed Building Consents have been granted to create a mezzanine second bedroom area above the studio. Externally West Lodge enjoys a mature west facing lawned garden, with a sunken entrance to the former crypt, now providing extensive cellarage. Representing a unique opportunity and a rare addition to the market, viewing is highly recommended.
