Longhirst, Longhirst, Morpeth, Northumberland, NE61 3HX

Pattinson Estate Agents are delighted to welcome to the market this historical property situated in Longhirst formally the Longhirst County Primary School which was built before 1865 by Mr Lawson a local landowner. It was enlarged in 1887-1890. In July 1965 the school closed and the pupils were transferred to Pegswood primary school. This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a little bit of history which sits on approximately an acre of land with four bedrooms and is a detached/semi-detached property which oozes lots of potential. Attached to the property is the addition of two cottages, both of which are currently let out around the £500pcm. There is potential to convert this into one whole dwelling, maybe even convert the cottages into holiday lets with the luxury of living on site in the property for managing the holiday lets.
