You could have lived in the area for years without knowing this historic property was tucked away around the corner.
But now a £575,000 Jarrow home has hit the market and you can take a look inside.
The Victorian former rectory is hidden away on Borough Road and doesn't look particularly remarkable from the street.
But head inside and it's a striking and luxurious house, filled with original features.
A large entrance hallway leads on to a study, a large living room with conservatory, a large dining room and kitchen, plus a breakfast and utility room.
There is also a wine cellar and a former-chapel which has been converted into a self-contained annexe.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a large bedroom.
The house also benefits from ample garden and courtyard space, all contained behind a high wall which offers privacy.
Here's how the vendors, Pattinson, describe the property and its history: "This fantastic house was built 1879 for the Rector of Jarrow by his prospective father-in-law who felt that the existing rectory next to St. Paul's church was not grand enough for his daughter to live in.
"As such, it benefits from very large rooms with high ceilings, a wealth of original features and has a beautiful large open plan staircase with a galleried landing.
"Christmas trees as tall as 17 feet have been located at the foot of the stairs by the current owners."
