2 bedroom detached house

The Old School is a fabulous building which still retains a lot of the original character features from its days as a working school, including coat hooks, feature wall vents and of course the vaulted ceilings and attractive arched windows in the main two school halls. To the rear of the school halls is what would have been the main living accommodation comprising of two good reception rooms, a kitchen and a utility room with WC to the ground floor and two double bedrooms and a bathroom to the first floor.

Overall the property is in need of a full refurbishment and modernisation, but offers amazing potential to become a characterful and interesting detached home, or alternatively the potential to sub divide the property into two separate dwellings, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission. 

LOCATION The property is situated in the quiet and attractive hamlet of Thorley, about two miles from the historic harbour town of Yarmouth, whilst Newport is six miles to the east. Yarmouth has a good range of shops and services as well as a mainland ferry link and within a few minutes' drive there is also a school, pub and village shop in the nearby village of Shalfleet. The area has an excellent choice of walks and cycle routes which can be enjoyed from the property.
