10 bedroom house for sale

The Old School House presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful property in a beautiful canal side setting, offering significant potential for a variety of future uses. Previously operated as a guest house and bed and breakfast lifestyle business, the property provides well established accommodation alongside private owner living quarters. However, its size, layout and generous plot offer exciting possibilities for redevelopment, residential conversion or further commercial use, all subject to the necessary planning consents.

Steeped in local history, the building originally served as Curdworth village school. The school opened in April 1880 with just thirty one pupils, many of whom came from the surrounding farming community. It remained an important part of village life until 1969, when pupils moved to the newer school on Farthing Lane. Today the building retains much of its historic character while offering versatile accommodation suited to a range of potential future uses.

The main accommodation is entered through a welcoming reception hallway leading into the residents lounge, a spacious and characterful room with traditional features and staircase rising to the first floor. The lounge offers several seating areas where guests can relax, along with space for a small bar area which is currently used during guest stays.

Leading from the lounge is the dining room where breakfast is served and which is also used for small functions and gatherings. From here a rear hall provides access to the gardens along with additional facilities including male and female toilets and a games room.

The kitchen is located off the main lounge and serves both the guest accommodation and the private owners quarters. It is fitted with a range of wall and base units with complementary work surfaces along with built in appliances and a breakfast bar providing additional preparation and storage space.

To the first floor, guest accommodation includes four double bedrooms and two single rooms, all of which benefit from their own en suite bathroom facilities.

The owners accommodation is accessed separately via the eastern side entrance and provides a completely self contained living space. This includes a hallway with guest cloakroom, living room, staircase to the first floor, a front facing bedroom, bathroom and a rear bedroom with dressing room.

Externally, the property sits within a generous plot and is approached via a large tarmacadam driveway providing ample parking for visitors and guests. The gardens feature a paved patio area along with a traditional lawned garden, creating a pleasant outdoor space overlooking the surrounding setting.

Within the grounds are two additional double bedroom guest accommodations, both with en suite facilities, offering further flexibility for guest use or alternative purposes. There is also a large storage area currently used for caravan storage. To the rear of the garden a pedestrian gate provides direct access to steps leading down to the canal path.

Given the size of the building, the separate accommodation and the generous grounds, The Old School House offers considerable potential for those looking to develop, repurpose or expand the existing use, subject to the relevant planning permissions. Opportunities such as this rarely come to the market, combining local heritage with future potential in a sought after village setting.
