The Old School House, Ancroft, Berwick-Upon-Tweed TD15 2TE

The Old School House is a charming and characterful home, beautifully blending period features with comfortable modern living. Set within a peaceful village setting, the property offers generous accommodation, versatile living spaces, and attractive outdoor areas. Currently run as a successful luxury holiday let, it presents an appealing opportunity for those seeking a lifestyle purchase with income potential.

The ground floor offers a well-balanced and inviting layout. A welcoming family room features a wood-burning stove, French doors opening onto the garden, and a spiral staircase leading to the first floor. Adjacent, the sitting room also benefits from high ceilings and a wood-burning stove, creating warm and relaxing spaces for family or entertaining guests. The dining room serves as a central hub and flows seamlessly through to the attractive kitchen, with beautiful shaker cabinetry offering ample storage and workspace. A conservatory at the rear provides a light-filled additional living area with lovely views over the garden. Completing the ground floor is a double bedroom, a bathroom, and useful storage cupboards, offering flexibility for guests or single-level living if required.

The first floor offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, providing peaceful retreats with views over the surrounding countryside, one of which benefits from an en-suite bathroom. The layout makes excellent use of the space, ensuring comfortable and practical accommodation throughout.

Externally, the property enjoys mature, well-established gardens with a lawn, planted borders, and a patio ideal for outdoor dining. A versatile timber garden room sits to the rear, complete with electricity and a WC, along with a decked seating area and an outdoor wood-burning stove, creating an excellent space for entertaining or relaxing. In addition, the property benefits from traditional stone outbuildings, which offer further potential and have planning permission granted by Northumberland Council (reference: 24/03662/FUL) for conversion into a single-storey annexe. Stone walls and mature planting provide privacy and tranquillity, creating an inviting outdoor space that complements both family living and holiday letting.
