Named after one of the UK’s earliest feminist writers and journalists, Harriet Martineau, who lived in this 18th century property for five years from 1840. Harriet began writing her autobiography here and took delight in using the telescope to watch out for wrecks marooned at sea. Outside is a historical plaque marking the history of her stay in Tynemouth where she received visits from Charles Dickens and Emily Bronte. Tynemouth itself is a surfer’s paradise with blue flag beaches and annual surfing competitions, the promenade stretches to Whitley Bay and right along is dotted with cafés, bars and restaurants with some fish and chip shacks hidden down in the coves. A fabulous indoor market takes place on the old metro station dubbed the ’Covent garden of the North’ an intriguing place loved by locals and visitors to the area. Only a short walk from the house is the ancient abbey, beach and seaside. There are ample bars and restaurants around to never have to leave Tynemouth but whilst in the area a trip into Northumberland to discover the glorious heritage coastline, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which should not be missed with miles of golden sands and peppered with castles and friendly villages.
