Newcastle Property Types and Lift Options
Newcastle is home to a range of property types, including Tyneside flats, Victorian terraces in Jesmond, and modern quayside apartments.
Newcastle has a distinctive property type found nowhere else in the UK: the Tyneside flat. These are two-storey flats built as a pair, one above the other, each with its own front door. Through-floor lifts can be fitted within a Tyneside flat to connect the ground and first floors. Jesmond and Gosforth have larger Victorian and Edwardian homes that suit a range of lift types.
