Tenants sought for Historic Tyneside Trinity House

Posted on 15 January, 2015 by Cliff Goodwin

North-East businesses with a “taste for grandeur” are being offered offices in what is claimed to be one of the oldest buildings on Tyneside. The boardroom, within the Grade I listed Trinity House on Newcastle’s Quayside, even comes complete with a 19th century oak table and mahogany George III chairs.

Tenants are being sought for three offices within Trinity Chare — one of the city’s most exclusive addresses — owned by the maritime charity Trinity House, established 500 years ago on the same Broad Chare site.

JK Property Consultants, which has its own offices within Trinity Chare, has been hired by the Corporation of Newcastle Trinity House to let the recently modernised Grade A offices on a five-year lease. The three suites cover a total area of 448 sq ft, with the largest office providing 195 sq ft and the smallest 105 sq ft.

“Offices in Trinity Chare, especially of this kind of size and quality, rarely become vacant so this is a rare opportunity for businesses seeking modern office accommodation with a building that boasts an amazing heritage,” explained JK principal, Kevan Carrick. “We are expecting a lot of interest.”

Future tenants will also be able to make use of the historic Trinity House for business and social functions and, by arrangement, will have access to the centuries old courtyard. At various times since the 1400s the building has been used as a hospital, alms houses and rigging loft.

“Based on what was once a large medieval townhouse, the offices are quiet and secluded but are at the centre of the commercial Quayside, close to the law courts, Live Theatre, shops and restaurants,” added Carrick.

“This really is an unbeatable location, with fantastic architecture and use of the character-filled Trinity House boardroom by arrangement, complete with its 19th century oak table and mahogany George III chairs.”

Newcastle-upon-Tyne Trinity House is a private corporation which emerged in the late 1400s, and was formally constituted in 1505 when it was granted a plot of land close to the Tyne on which to build a chapel, meeting room and lodgings for seafarers.

Parts of those original buildings still exist and from which Trinity House continues to provide professional and charitable maritime services. It also remains one of only three bodies in England authorized for the examination and licensing of deep sea pilots.
