Alderman Fenwick’s House, located in the heart of Newcastle City Centre, is one of the oldest buildings in the city. Grade 1 listed and dating back to the 17th century, the original building displays typical aspects of the Georgian Merchant design, built in red brick and stone with sliding sash windows. It historically was inhabited by Alderman Fenwick, Mayor of Newcastle in 1720, and later became a coaching inn and Liberal Club.

The ‘Pends’ formed coach entrances and passageways creating a route through the building to the rear ‘back court’ for pedestrians and coaches which have been subject to planning and listed building consent to re-purpose them for use as a takeaway refreshments in the south pend, and a cafe / bar located in the north pend.

Respect for the existing fabric of the structure is paramount, with minor changes proposed to allow the Pends these modern functions. Sensitive development aims to bring their use into the 21st Century and allow current and future generations access to the heritage asset. A New Free-standing timber pop-up Kiosk is constructed within. The proposed kiosk is conducive to the historic design appearance of the building existing building, creating a detailed look with timber coving and cornicing, and constructed without intrusion to the existing walls, floor and ceiling.

Central Space are focused on maintaining the character of the building whilst upgrading the amenities to provide high quality office and events space.
