House For Sale £600,000
The Old School is an exciting opportunity to purchase the former Victorian school built circa 1873 and situated right in the heart of the popular community rich village of Great Ryburgh. The property stands on a prominent corner plot position set back from the road behind good sized front and side gardens which offer scope for landscaping. A driveway to the rear provides an extensive gravelled parking area and gardens which wrap around the property to the south and west, in all, amounting to 0.27 acre (subject to survey).
The property is suitable for a variety of different uses with the current owners having converted part of the building into a comfortable 4/5 bedroom home and the large former school rooms previously used as a children's nursery. The property still offers potential for some commercial use (subject to the necessary consents) or a full conversion into a substantial characterful home, perhaps with annexe accommodation ideal for multi-generational living.
The property retains a wealth of features harking back to its past life as the village school including the bell tower with its original bell and a commemorative plaque. Further benefits include fireplaces in the classrooms, column radiators, original pine floorboards, vaulted ceilings and full height windows.
The Old School is being offered for sale with no onward chain.
