Milthorpe, Lois Weedon, NN12

An exciting and unique opportunity to acquire a historic former village school dating from 1873, situated in a peaceful position within the rural village of Milthorpe, Weedon Lois.

The former St Loys CEVA Primary Academy closed as a school in August 2026 and comprises a combination of historic and more modern educational accommodation.
