Old School Close, Whittington

Whittington is a village which lies approximately 3 miles south east of Lichfield and is one of the most sought-after places to live. Two canals pass through the parish and each bridge is listed plus there are many other buildings which are listed within this historic village.

One of the most historic buildings in the village is The Old School. In 1741, Sarah Neal started a school for poor children. When Reverend Levett died in 1802 (leaving a legacy), a handsome gothic building for a girls' and infants' school was built in 1864. Children continued to be educated here until 1968 when a new school was built in Common Lane.

The Gothic style school and its site, has been sympathetically restored, enhanced and developed by the Landlord. The restoration has combined the character of the original school with a modern and contemporary style for both the renovation and the new builds. The fittings include stunning Shaker style kitchens with Silestone worktops with integrated Belling Range and hood which has an induction hob! Also included will be a Samsung French style fridge/freezer and Bosch integrated dishwasher and washer/dryer.
