Inside the £4m Newcastle mansion rented by Premier League stars including Sandro Tonali A luxury mansion in one of Newcastle's most sought-after neighbourhoods has gone on the market for more than £4 million after serving as home to a number of Newcastle United players, including midfielder Sandro Tonali. Ever wondered what it's like to live like a Premier League footballer? A spectacular six-bedroom mansion that has housed several Newcastle United stars has been put up for sale with an asking price of more than £4 million. The impressive property, situated on Lindisfarne Road in Jesmond, was most recently occupied by former Magpies midfielder Sandro Tonali, according to sources. The Italian international is said to have been the last Newcastle player to live at the address before his summer move to Tottenham Hotspur. Owned by the current seller since 2007, the detached home has undergone a major transformation over the past 18 years. Estate agents say it has been extensively remodelled and enlarged to create one of the North East's most remarkable private residences. While the property's traditional frontage has been carefully retained, the rear of the home was redesigned by acclaimed architect Bill Hopper, blending period charm with contemporary luxury. Inside, the mansion is equipped with state-of-the-art home automation, integrated audio technology and bespoke lighting throughout. It also boasts an extensive leisure suite featuring an indoor swimming pool, sauna, gym and games room. The property sits behind electrically operated entrance gates, offering privacy while being just a short distance from Osborne Road and the green surroundings of Jesmond Dene. Marketing the home, estate agents Sanderson Young describe the residence as one of Newcastle's landmark properties. The listing states: "Approached through electrically operated entrance gates, the property enjoys a discreet setting behind its original period façade, which gives little indication of the remarkable accommodation beyond. "Located just moments from Osborne Road and adjoining the conservation area surrounding Jesmond Dene, 13 Lindisfarne Road enjoys an enviable position within one of Newcastle's most desirable residential neighbourhoods. "Combining exceptional architecture, beautifully balanced family accommodation and outstanding leisure facilities, this is undoubtedly one of the city's landmark homes." The agents also say the property's leisure facilities rival those found in boutique hotels and exclusive private health clubs. Sources have confirmed the house has been rented by Newcastle United for several years to accommodate first-team players. While Tonali is understood to have been its latest resident, fans online have also suggested former winger Allan Saint-Maximin may have lived there during his time on Tyneside, although this has never been officially confirmed. The Jesmond mansion is currently being marketed on Rightmove with offers invited in excess of £4 million.
