A 'palatial' Victorian mansion wing could be yours for under £1m

If TV shows like Bridgerton and The Pursuit of Love have got you fantasising about owning a grand period home of your own, we may have just found the property to make your dreams come true.

A "palatial" mansion wing – complete with a home cinema and gym – is up for sale for just shy of £1m.

The Victorian property, located near Newcastle, features five bedroom and five bathrooms and is set over three levels.

Situated in the North Wing of Whinney House – a "prestigious" building, across the River Tyne in the town of Gateshead – it also features an original staircase with a wrought-iron bannister that connects its floors, as well as a wine cellar and extensive gardens.

The listing on Rightmove, where it is currently priced at £995,000, notes that it is a "fine example of how an exquisite period building can be restored and brought fully into the 21st century".

The listing also confirms it still has "all of the original and period features expected from a palatial building built within the early Victorian era".

Located in the basement of the wing are ta home cinema and gym, as well as a bedroom and bathroom - plus a staff kitchen, should you need.
