Summary - THE OLD SCHOOL, GOOLE, SPALDINGTON DN14 7NJ
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Characterful former headmaster’s house on a very large private plot — renovation opportunity.
Detached period property with strong original character
This early 20th‑century detached home — formerly the village headmaster’s house — offers generous, characterful accommodation across an extremely large footprint (approx. 2,542 sq ft). Rooms are well proportioned with period details and flexible reception space, making the house well suited to family living. The plot is a standout feature: a very large, private garden backing onto fields, plus a garage and ample off‑street parking.
The property is sold freehold and presents a significant opportunity for someone prepared to renovate. The kitchen and bathroom require updating, and the house overall needs renovation to bring services, finishes and decor up to modern standards. Broadband and mobile signal are average and this is a remoter hamlet location, so buyers should be comfortable with rural connectivity and travel arrangements.
For families and buyers seeking space and character, the home rewards imagination: there is scope to reconfigure living areas, extend (subject to consent) or landscape the grounds to create formal gardens and outdoor living zones. Local life is quiet and community focused, with countryside walks, a primary school nearby and reasonable road links to Goole and surrounding towns.
Important practical notes: there is only one bathroom, council tax is moderate, and the area is classified as affluent with low crime but lies in a remoter community. The house has strong potential but requires a committed renovation programme.
