Description

EPC band: E
Amazing opportunity to purchase this attractive detached stone-built period house, which is currently being run as a successful Bed and Breakfast, however, it would make a stunning family home, or it could be separated into two dwellings. The B & B  has its own private entrance for the guests so the owners don’t get disturbed and the guests don’t feel as they are in someone’s home so they can come and go as they please. It can also be used on a room-only basis if you did not want to do breakfast. It can be used as one big holiday rental or split into two separate rentals. It can be used as a family home on one side, with an annex on the other side. This property has so much potential for so many uses. The property is located in the popular coastal village of Seahouses, which is one of the most sought-after holiday destinations in the county. The property was once a Presbyterian church dating back to 1843.

The Olde School House is divided into two sections, the first being the owner’s own living accommodation, which comprises a bright spacious sitting room with double French doors to the rear garden, a quality light oak kitchen with an archway to the dining room with feature fireplace. Large entrance hallway with storage cupboards and w/c cloakroom. To the first floor are two double bedrooms and a single room, a family bathroom, and access to the loft.
The other dwelling is being used for the bed & breakfast business, which has five large light and airy double bedrooms all with en-suite facilities.

Seahouses - Seahouses has become a very popular seaside holiday destination and place to live, with a beautiful sandy beach, golf courses, and a bustling harbour where you can see fishing boats returning with their catches. Also from Seahouses harbour you can take a trip with local tour company Serenity to visit the Farne Islands, famous for the National Trust bird sanctuaries, seal colony and local Heroine Grace Darling. This coastline is also excellent for scuba diving with diving available around the Farne Islands and surrounding wrecks. Seahouses has excellent facilities including shopping, cafés, restaurants, and an eighteen-hole golf course. The famous Bamburgh Castle can be seen from Seahouses and is only two miles away.
