About Percy Gardens, Tynemouth Percy Gardens is a Victorian crescent of houses situated on a private road in Tynemouth with stunning views of the sea and Tynemouth Priory. Residents have exclusive use of the beautiful communal gardens which are maintained by a gardener and managed by a Residents’ Committee.
Percy Gardens is made up of 122 residences and although these are still some complete houses, the majority are now subdivided into apartments. Most of the properties have retained their Victorian character such as sandstone carved porticos, intricate corniced ceilings and mosaic tiled entrance halls.
Percy Gardens today is a thriving community of all age groups with a strong community spirit. A variety of social events are held in the Gardens throughout the year for residents and the Percy Gardens Trust constantly work to ensure Percy Gardens remains a wonderful place to live.
Living in Percy Gardens The Resident’s Code
So that Percy Gardens remains one of the most exclusive places to live in the North East, a Residents Code has been implemented to protect the community values and maintain the Percy Gardens environment to the standard its residents expect. This Code includes (but is not limited to) restrictions around the parking of some vehicles, guidance for carrying out maintenance on properties and the proper use of the communal Gardens. We would strongly encourage you to request the Code if you are thinking about buying or renting property in the street.
The Levy
The private road and Gardens at Percy Gardens are owned by the Duke of Northumberland and The Percy Gardens Trust manage these areas on the Duke’s behalf. Residents have the benefit of use of the road and Gardens and pay for their upkeep via a levy (or service charge) which is paid on an annual basis.
Parking
Percy Gardens is a gated community and residents are supplied with regular gate codes for entry to the street. There is also a parking permit scheme in place for resident and visitor parking.
Air B&B
Percy Gardens properties are bound by covenants which prohibit them being let out as Air B&B or short-term holiday lets. Please bear this in mind if you are purchasing (or have purchased) your property with the intention of letting out in this way.
