SITUATION & DESCRIPTION.
Located on the site of the former workhouse, grade II listed former Chittlehampton Primary School was constructed in 1864 and is a fine example of a National School of the period. This large, detached building has attractive stone mullioned windows, extensive window openings and a more modern extension built in the latter part of the last century. The interior of the property has not been altered since it was used as a primary school and the individual rooms are identified on the floor plan. There are two staircases.
Outside, the property has a rear playground which backs onto a grass area enclosed by hedging and some trees. This whole area could provide an attractive garden. There is parking for several vehicles to the front. The school is situated at the top of the village square next to the parish church of St Hieritha which has one of the finest rings of bells in the West Country.
The building lends itself to a variety of uses, subject to planning consent being acquired. Current planning use is F1 - Learning and Non-Residential Institutions. A pre-application statement by North Devon Council (the full statement is contained in the legal pack) summarises: “Given the potential for a proposed residential development this would help protect the heritage asset. Any changes to the fabric of the building may require listed building consent”.
