The Old School Hall

A Distinctive Former Schoolhouse Reimagined for Modern Family Living

Steeped in heritage and thoughtfully transformed, this exceptional former school building offers a rare opportunity to own a home of both architectural significance and everyday practicality. The extra large floods home Originally constructed in the mid-1800s as a boys' school, the building stands just ahead of The Old Schoolhouse and draws inspiration from the ornate brickwork and style of the historic Richard Clarke First School nearby.

Following its final chapter as a school canteen, the building was sensitively converted into a private residence in 1995. Since then, it has been carefully reimagined by the current owners, blending traditional character with modern-day comfort to create a warm, versatile family home.
Inside, the property retains many of its original features - soaring ceilings, exposed timber beams, polished herringbone wood floors, full double glazing and a beautifully preserved oak front door all speak to its storied past. These period elements are paired with stylish updates throughout, including bespoke fittings and contemporary finishes.

The front entrance is elevated by stone steps and leads into a welcoming hallway. From here, the spacious main living room enjoys dual aspect windows and a log-burning stove set in a striking stone surround. The custom-designed kitchen and dining area features a central island, walk-in pantry, and doors opening out to the garden - ideal for indoor-outdoor living. A separate dining hall sits beneath a graceful gallery landing, creating a memorable focal point. A second sitting room provides additional family space, while a utility room and ground-floor shower room offer convenience for busy households.

Upstairs, the charm continues. Vaulted ceilings and glimpses of exposed stone provide constant reminders of the building's rich history. Tall ceilings and expansive original windows flood the interior with natural light, creating bright, airy spaces that retain the character of its academic past. The principal bedroom suite includes a dedicated dressing area and private WC. Three further well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged across two additional landings, which also offer built-in storage. A luxurious, modern family bathroom completes the upper floor.

The outdoor space is just as impressive. The south-facing private rear garden has been expertly landscaped with lush planting, mature trees, and carefully designed seating areas - including patios and lawn, framed by raised beds and a water feature. Gated access leads to a gravel driveway and a detached garage, which includes a converted upper floor - ideal for use as a home office or gym.
