Elsdon, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE19

DESCRIPTION A unique opportunity to purchase a stone built property dating back to 1835, full of character and charm and offering fantastic potential to convert into one or two residential dwellings (subject to necessary consents).
The Old School has received a positive pre-application response from Northumberland National Park. The application proposes the change of use to a residential dwelling with two proposals put forward for the conversion. A conversion of the existing buildings into one five/six bedroom house or the second option of all single story elements being converted into a two bedroom property and the two story element converted into a separate three bedroom property.

The property is full of history and dates back to 1835 as The Rectors School and more recently as a recording studio. The property is pleasantly positioned in the village overlooking the 12th Century St Cuthberts Church and the 13th Century Pele Tower, with the large village green and far reaching views.  

PLANNING PERMISSION Any application for planning permission would need to be assessed against current local policies set out within the National Park's core strategy in order to establish if the proposal would be acceptable. More information on these policies is available upon request however the main restrictions are that the occupancy of all new homes is restricted in perpetuity to people who have a defined local need only (both permanent and renting residents) and that any such dwelling must not be available as a second home or holiday home.
