We can name the most expensive house for sale in Tyneside according to a property website – and all it will cost you is just short of £4m.

The property is described as “one of Newcastle’s finest town mansions” but despite the price tag appealing to football stars and entrepreneurs it is still to be snapped up.

It is a six-bed mansion in the heart of Jesmond and is the most expensive property listed in Tyneside on the website Rightmove – although there are other houses where the price is on application.

It is set an acre of landscaped gardens and woodland and comes complete with an open-plan Poggenpohl kitchen, six double en-suite bedrooms, and a full size heated pool and six-person jacuzzi.

But despite its obvious appeal to the rich, it is yet to be sold despite being on the website since February last year.

The property, which was previously on offer for £4.5m, is on Lindisfarne Road and is for sale by Sanderson Young.

It has neo-classical styling on the outside but now boasts floor to ceiling glass windows which create incredible views over the Mediterranean terrace and large mature garden.

Features include six double en-suite bedrooms, four stunning large reception rooms, a leisure suite and a full-size “refrigeration wall” in the kitchen.

A sauna, a home cinema room, and modern interiors make it an attractive proposition.

Elsewhere in the North East, £2.75m will buy you an eight-bed mansion on Runnymede Road, Ponteland, making it one of the most expensive properties in an expensive street.

Yes, THAT Runnymede Road.

The Runnymede Road where Toon legend Alan Shearer has a home and which has long been dubbed ‘millionaires row’.

No 74 Runnymede Road, offered by Sanderson Young, is described as representing one of the finest detached mansions available in the exclusive postcode.

It is a relatively modern house, built between 1999 and 2000, but has been constructed in reclaimed stonework and has three floors of beautiful accommodation which sit over its majestic rolling lawned gardens.

The focal point of the house is the central reception hall and staircase which links to the first floor landing while other buyers will find the gardens, including a Japanese garden, will be a selling point.

Another property in Runnymede Road is listed as price on application.

And as the saying goes if you have to ask the price, you can’t afford it.

The property was designed to exacting standards by the current owners, taking full advantage of the views over the river Pont and the open countryside beyond.

Highlights include formal and family dining rooms.

The master bedroom has a dressing room and luxury en-suite while there are five further bedrooms each with en-suite.

What else? There’s the cinema room and gym, the music room, the games room, and the snooker room.

It’s for sale by Dobsons Estate Agents.

Still in Runnymede Road and yet another property is price on application.

This one is Runnymede House on the corner of Runnymede Road and Fox Covert Lane.

Personally supervised by the owner in its construction in 2007, the gardens are a delight with beautiful walkways, elaborate planting and superb lighting.

It’s for sale by Sanderson Young.

Other £2m-plus properties include an 1883-built seven-bed house in Osborne Road, Jesmond, for sale at £2,195,000 through Signature by Mark Small.

The property was built to provide stable and coach-house accommodation for Lord Sutherland – but is now a luxury home with a games room and imposing entrance portico.

It has seven bedrooms and is described as “humble”.

The sales brochure says: “It has undergone extensive remodelling and with a new extension creating spacious living, this humble abode is one of the most superior properties on the market.”
