A distinctive former schoolhouse dating from 1877, this four-bedroom semi in Low Coniscliffe offers genuine character and scope for improvement. High ceilings, original brick and stone façades and a lounge with a wood-burning stove give immediate charm, while the long rooms and multiple reception spaces suit flexible family living or a spacious countryside home.
The house sits a two-minute stroll from the River Tees and village footpaths — ideal for dog walkers — with a popular country pub close by. Practical benefits include a gated front courtyard with parking for several vehicles and a private rear patio courtyard. Oil-fired central heating and double glazing are in place, though some installation dates are unknown.
The property requires updating throughout; the asking price reflects renovation needs. The stone walls are likely uninsulated, and the property would benefit from modernisation to heating, electrics and finishes. There is a medium flooding risk to note and council tax is above average.
This is a good opportunity for a buyer seeking period character and space in an affluent village setting, whether a growing family wanting room to adapt or a purchaser planning a sensitive refurbishment to enhance value. Be prepared for renovation costs and improvements to insulation and services to bring the house up to contemporary standards.
