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.

The houses which gather round the teardrop-shaped village green make it the largest settlement within the boundaries of the National Park.
