Owners Insight - "Ovington is a wonderful community, neighbours are always willing to help; there is a village facebook page that acts as a conduit for information. Greenacres has a wonderful position in the village overlooking the green but not overlooked with wonderful views to the rear across Winston Bridge and Teesdale beyond. A great spot for relaxing on warm summer evenings. The village has a small friendly pub that provides good food and there will always be someone in there you know. The house itself provides a great compromise between a traditional cottage but with a more bright and airy interior that is deceptively spacious. It has been a wonderful home to us."
