Main Road, Dinnington, Newcastle Upon Tyne

Trading Places are delighted to present this rare opportunity to acquire a Grade II listed former school, originally constructed in 1871, with planning permission for two further stone built dwellings in the land behind. Located in the sought after village of Dinnington, this beautiful property is oozing with character, charm and boasts lots of local history. With good local amenities, the plot is well placed for main road links to surrounding areas including Ponteland, Newcastle upon Tyne and the International Airport.

The building to the front has been renovated to an exacting standard maintaining original features likely to appeal to a wide range of purchasers. The former school house welcomes you into a hallway with doors to the cloaks wc and spacious breakfasting kitchen/living area, this being the real heart of this home. From the breakfasting kitchen you find the door to the double bedroom with en-suite shower room. Externally there are wraparound gardens and a drive providing parking for multiple cars.

The site has vehicular access from the road to the parking area, this will ultimately become a shared driveway for the three properties on the completion of the build.
