Cross House is a beautiful and totally unique home. Grade 2 listed, this semi-detached residence is situated within the Wallsend Green conservation area, on the north-east edge of a green which dates to the Anglo-Saxon period. The front of the property itself dates to around 1670, whilst the rear extension' was built in 1747 when the whole became the schoolhouse for Wallsend village. There is much history attached to the property, including links with the railway pioneers, George and Robert Stephenson. Externally, the property is rendered and painted to the front and side elevations while the rear wall is of a warm hand-cut sandstone. The property comprises; an entrance porch, a lovely, light, spacious lounge with three sliding sash windows, two of which face across the Green. The dining room is located to the rear and has an exposed stone wall, the original external wall of the property, and a breakfasting kitchen with a gas-fired AGA cooker providing a warm relaxed centre to a very family friendly home. At the rear mezzanine level there is bedroom four, a family bathroom and master bedroom. A further two double bedrooms are located on the top level. There are gardens to all three sides of the property, laid largely to roses and mature shrubs. A drive to the side of the property and a garage to the rear (with sturdy upper floored area for storage), accessed by a shared private lane. The house has a large loft area, providing valuable storage, and heating is provided in part by a four-oven gas-fired AGA cooker which also gives Cross House all its hot water. Night storage heaters are installed in all the main rooms.
