This Victorian school was built in the mid nineteenth century and comprises three large classrooms with vaulted ceilings and high windows, plus cloakroom and office space.  In the 1990s it was partially converted to create a one bedroomed, single storey apartment in one classroom and a garage was added.  A further two bedrooms have been included in one of the former classrooms.  However, much of the building remains untouched.  In the grounds are two sets of outside lavatories, a static caravan and a very large building, formerly a canteen and workshop, which probably needs to be replaced.   

The property offers immense scope for a variety of uses, subject to consents.  It would make an absolutely stunning home, but is big enough to split if desired.  Equally it would lend itself to a range of commercial uses including a training / residential centre, workshop, studios and galleries to name but a few. 

The main building comprises: 

CLASSROOM ONE     6m x 13.95m (19’8 x 45’9)    with original folding glazed doors to divide the room in two; one corner of this classroom has been incorporated into the apartment.

ADJOINING CLOAKROOMS     5.3m x 2.4m (17’4 x 7’10) 

CLASSROOM TWO     6m x 12.88m max (19’8 x 42’3)    This classroom has been converted into a ground floor apartment.  From the Living Room is a hatch giving access to the roof space.  Joists have been installed in preparation for a second storey, but this is a blank canvas for the purchaser.

The apartment, with approximate dimensions, comprises:

HALL                          3.6m x 1.6m (11’10 x 5’3)    Half glazed front door, red and black quarry tiled floor, loft access, store cupboard, door on left to former office and cloakroom space and on right to apartment, radiator.
