Summary - THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE ANCROFT BERWICK-UPON-TWEED TD15 2TE
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious stone conversion with planning permission for additional accommodation.
Large detached former schoolhouse circa 1858 with strong period character
A handsome detached former school (c.1858) converted into a spacious three-bedroom home with abundant character and a large garden. Recently renovated to a turn-key standard, the property offers generous rooms, high ceilings and exposed stonework that suit a family home or continuing holiday-let income.
Practical benefits include a wide driveway with ample off-street parking, double glazing (fitted post-2002), fast broadband and an outbuilding with live planning permission (Northumberland Council ref 24/03662/FUL) to create extra accommodation. The house sits in a quiet hamlet setting with attractive rural views and easy access to nearby primary schools.
Notable negatives are an EPC rating of E (46) and oil-fired central heating; heating costs and future upgrade work should be considered. The building’s stone walls are only partially insulated (assumed) which may limit thermal efficiency. The immediate area scores as deprived on wider metrics and the property is relatively remote, with average mobile signal and limited local amenities.
Overall this is a rare, character-filled detached home on a large plot, ideal for buyers seeking space, privacy and scope to add value via the permitted outbuilding or targeted energy improvements. It is offered freehold and currently operates successfully as a holiday let, providing optional income from day one.
