Set within the Solway Coast AONB, The Old School is a converted former school offering extremely large, flexible accommodation arranged over two levels. The house is particularly well suited to families or multi-generational living: the master bedroom and en‑suite sit on the first floor while two double bedrooms and a ground‑floor shower room provide convenient living at entry level. The concealed original vaulted ceiling over the living/dining room gives clear scope to create an impressive central space once uncovered.
Outside, the very large, mature gardens and gated driveway give privacy, scope for landscaping and practical room for hobbies, storage and large‑vehicle parking. A detached garage and space for many vehicles make this a rare rural find with genuine on‑site capacity. Solar panels are already installed, offering environmental benefits and a supplemental income stream.
Practical considerations are honest and important: the property has an EPC rating of E and oil‑fired central heating, cavity walls as built with no confirmed insulation upgrade, and slow broadband speeds typical of a remoter hamlet setting. These factors may lead to upgrade and running‑cost work. Chain free and freehold, the house is best suited to buyers who want a substantial character home with renovation potential rather than a turnkey move.
