Causey Cottage is a detached house in Gosforth, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE3 4AY). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D.

It hasn't traded since August 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £387,000 sits 149.7% above the 2000 sale of £155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£112/sq ft) was about 52.8% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2017. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 129 m² it sits well below the postcode median (191 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
