DESCRIPTION
We are delighted to offer for sale this unique property adjoining the historic Boys’ National School building on Pauls Lane, Hoddesdon. Originally constructed in 1844, this captivating home was once the Headmaster’s House, which also housed his office and was originally connected to the school via a doorway within School House, long since bricked up. The property showcases exquisite Gothic Revival architecture, evident in the windows that feature a classic Gothic design with narrow, multi-paned frames set within stone surrounds, adding to the building’s historic charm. With preserved Gothic Revival oak-framed, leaded-glass feature windows adorning the main reception room and master bedroom further enhance the unique character of the property reflecting the property’s heritage as part of an early Victorian school building.

The entrance is highlighted by a solid oak Gothic door. The house has been thoughtfully extended over the past 120 years, increasing its functionality and living space. Over the years, we have thoroughly enjoyed living in School House, initially drawn by its distinctive character and prime town centre location. The property offers convenient access to a wealth of local amenities, including shops , restaurants, bars, and good schools, making it an ideal home for families.
