Location - The property is located within the heart of the East Yorkshire Village of Stamford Bridge.

Stamford Bridge is famous for the Battle of 1066.

Stamford Bridge is a popular commuter village to York which is approximately 5 miles (8km) away. Stamford Bridge has seen a good deal of house price growth in recent years.

Stamford Bridge remains a popular stopping point for travelers on the A166. It contains a number of shops and services, generally centered around the subject property and close to The Square.

The property is adjacent to the village's doctors surgery.

Description - We understand that the building dates from 1828, although an early 20th Century porch has then been added to the front, together with a link block which connects the Church and (adjacent) former school.

The church building is of predominantly two story brick construction beneath a pitched and hipped, natural slate covered roof. The more recent entrance porch is to the north (front). Due to the sloping nature of the site, this is accessed via a series of steps, with metal handrails to either side. Access via the porch is through double-leaf doors with glazed panels, flanked by slit windows to either side. Sixteen-pane round-headed sashes with radial glazing and sills under round gauged brick arches are to either side of the porch. Four similar sashes are to the first floor level.

To the eastern side of the church is a slightly later single story, flat roofed building. This provides internal access to the school room. The school room is of single story solid brick construction beneath a pitched, natural slate roof. The main access into the school is via the aforementioned link block, although a further door is also provided. To the northeastern side of the school is a toilet block of more modern brick cavity wall construction beneath a flat, felted roof.

Internally, the first floor of the church forms an impressive galleried seating area.

The property also retains a number of period features.

To the north (front) the site benefits from an access driveway bound by timber fencing and a low height brick wall. Gates are provided to the public highway (A166).

A garden is provided to the south (rear). This is generally set to grass, being bound by a combination of mature hedges and timber fencing.

Paths extend around the perimeters of the buildings.

The site extends to approximately 0.05 hectares / 0.12 acres.
