Old School House is a rare Gothic Revival former school offering about 3,500 sq ft of substantial, characterful accommodation across multiple levels. High ceilings, large rooms and period brickwork give an immediate sense of scale and history. The property sits on a generous plot in Orleton village, with mature trees and a garden that complements the house’s historic setting.
Part conversion has been completed: a detached garage with plant room and a finished home office are in place, but the main house needs full renovation. Heating currently relies on room heaters and wood logs and walls are assumed to be solid brick with no insulation, so buyers should plan for comprehensive upgrading (insulation, central heating, electrics, kitchens and bathrooms) to meet modern standards.
This home will suit buyers looking for a significant restoration project with strong scope to create a spacious family residence or an exceptional countryside home. There is no flood risk and crime levels are very low; local primary schools (including Orleton CofE) and village amenities are nearby. Prospective purchasers should budget for renovation costs and note the property has an expensive council tax band.
