Exciting project with full planning permission to restore the former school in the village of Eccles which lays close to the A11 in Norfolk
This Victorian former school has stood empty for a number of years and is wanting desperately to be restored. The period features will help create a fabulous home once the conversion has been completed.
Every room has a story to tell and the areas in which it evolved are evident. The school has additions to the rear, one added in the 1930s and the other in the 1990s.
The school has a prominent corner position within the village of Eccles which is situated conveniently for the A11.
Currently the property is vacant and plans for a pair of cottages have been approved by Breckland District Council under reference 3DC/2021/0278/DOC however the plans could be altered subject to approval.
This unique opportunity offers an abundance of character which would benefit any renovation project. There is a tarmac playground to the rear, currently offering hard standing and what would be the garden for the property. A viewing is essential to fully appreciate the potential it has to offer.
