Large first‑floor lounge with valley views and log‑burning stove

Set within a peaceful Tyne Valley village, this former school house offers generous, characterful accommodation across two floors with broad valley views and private sun‑trap gardens. High ceilings, original features and a large front picture window create an immediate sense of space; the first‑floor lounge and principal bedroom both take full advantage of the outlook.
The house is well configured for family living: a practical kitchen with adjoining utility, a dining room with a multi‑fuel stove, three double bedrooms and two modern bathrooms. Recent works to the boiler, windows and roof should reduce near‑term maintenance, and modern fibre broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working. Gardens are well planted and private, with mature hedging and trees.
Notable practical points: heating is oil‑fired (separate supply), the EPC is rated E, and parking is on‑street rather than a private driveway. The property sits in a conservation area, which could restrict extension or change of external appearance without consent. Buyers seeking a turnkey modern energy profile should factor potential upgrade costs, though the house is well suited to sympathetic updating and possible extension subject to planning.
This home will suit families or buyers wanting a character property in a quiet rural village with good road and bus links to nearby towns. It offers comfortable living now with clear scope to personalise and add value over time, while enjoying the privacy, views and community atmosphere of Ovington.
