A stunning six-bedroom mansion previously rented out to top-flight football stars has hit the market with a £4 million price tag. The lavish residence has reportedly housed several Newcastle United players, with fan favourite Sandro Tonali believed to be its most recent tenant.
Luxury Features and Renovations
The detached property includes an indoor swimming pool, sauna, gym, and games room. Purchased by its current owner in 2007, it has since been "comprehensively remodelled and extended to create one of the most significant private homes within the North East of England," according to estate agents Sanderson Young.
While the original front exterior has been retained, the rear was transformed by renowned architect Bill Hopper, featuring smart home automation, integrated audio systems, and thoughtfully crafted lighting throughout.
Prime Location in Jesmond
Situated in the sought-after Jesmond area and listed at offers in excess of £4 million, Sanderson Young describe the leisure suite as one that "rivals those found in many boutique hotels and private health clubs."
The listing states: "Approached through electrically operated entrance gates, the property enjoys a discreet setting behind its original period façade, which gives little indication of the remarkable accommodation beyond."
"Located just moments from Osborne Road and adjoining the conservation area surrounding Jesmond Dene, 13 Lindisfarne Road enjoys an enviable position within one of Newcastle's most desirable residential neighbourhoods. Combining exceptional architecture, beautifully balanced family accommodation and outstanding leisure facilities, this is undoubtedly one of the city's landmark homes."
Football Connections
It has been confirmed by sources that the property has served as a residence for Newcastle United players for a number of years, with Tonali – who completed his move to Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month – believed to be the most recent occupant. Online speculation has also suggested that former winger Allan Saint-Maxim may have resided at the property during his spell at the club, though this remains unverified.
