Description
An outstanding opportunity to acquire a truly unique and character-filled property, set within what is believed to be the oldest surviving Lancastrian school building in Britain. This remarkable Grade II listed conversion seamlessly combines centuries of history with contemporary living, creating a distinctive home that is equally suited to investors, growing families, or those seeking a property of exceptional heritage and charm.
Arranged over four floors, including a loft room, the accommodation offers impressive versatility with five well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which benefit from their own ensuite facilities. A family bathroom is located on the third floor and features a convenient Jack-and-Jill arrangement serving the fourth bedroom, while a separate ground-floor WC adds further practicality.
The heart of the home is the spacious, fully fitted kitchen and dining area, providing an ideal setting for entertaining and everyday family life. Patio doors open onto a small private enclosed courtyard-style patio, offering a touch of outdoor space. A useful utility area on the ground floor further enhances the property's functionality.
Rich in character, the property retains many original architectural features and elements of the historic structure, offering a rare blend of heritage and modern comfort. Thoughtfully updated throughout, the interiors provide a contemporary feel while respecting the building's remarkable past.
The flexible layout allows the accommodation to adapt to a variety of lifestyles, with one of the bedrooms easily serving as an additional lounge, reception room, home office, or living space if desired. Further benefits include allocated parking and a highly convenient central location, placing local amenities, transport links, and attractions within easy reach.
A rare chance to own a piece of British history, this impressive residence presents a premium investment opportunity with strong appeal to investors while also offering an exceptional family home full of character, versatility, and timeless appeal.
