A striking Grade II listed Gothic Revival former school offering substantial internal space (approx. 2,407 sq ft) and clear conversion potential. Its Hamstone construction, high ceilings and mullioned windows provide strong period character — appealing to buyers wanting an eye-catching, character-rich home or two dwellings subject to permissions.
Plans have previously been drawn to create 2 x two-bedroom units, but no planning permission has been granted. The listing status and historic features are likely to restrict alterations and add cost; any conversion will require listed-building consent and careful specification (specialist architects/contractors advised).
The building currently includes two large halls, a first-floor loft/cadets room with exposed trusses, small kitchen, WC block, office/storeroom, rear garden and front off-street parking. It suits an investor or developer experienced with listed conversions, or a buyer wanting a dramatic single residence who accepts ongoing maintenance and regulatory constraints.
Practical positives: very low flood and crime risk, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and parking to the front. Drawbacks are material: listed status, no current planning permission, likely significant renovation and maintenance costs, and only one existing bedroom in the current layout.
