Originally built in 1896 as two separate cottages on this very pleasant and attractive stone built-terraced within the Tyne valley village of Ovingham, many years ago, the property was converted into one spacious and welcoming home, now providing three bedroom accommodation. However, in addition, there are ladders that lead up to an attic room and attic storage, which both provide the opportunity to create additional accommodation, if required and subject to any necessary consents being obtained. The property enjoys the benefit of gas central heating and double glazing and has a cottage style garden to the front and a very large, enclosed patio garden with various outhouses, including an old garage to the rear. This property is in need of full modernisation and represents a very rare opportunity to utilise its huge potential for extension either by the attic or to the rear (subject to any necessary consents being obtained), and would provide an ideal home for either professional couples, families, as well as active retirement. This home is in a superb location within easy commuting distance of Newcastle and the airport and we would strongly recommend an early internal inspection in order to fully appreciate what is for sale.
