*The school ''that never was''*

A rare opportunity to acquire such a stunning CONVERTED FORMER SCHOOL with an interesting history along with the added benefit of a SELF CONTAINED GUEST ANNEX / HOLIDAY COTTAGE.

The Old School
Representing an opportunity to own a part of history. Constructed in the 1860's for the iron mining boom but became 'The school that never was'.When the school was built, its desks, black boards and books were all ready and waiting, but not one pupil was ever taught there. Today Kiltonthorpe consists of two rows of cottages and a couple of farms, hidden away just a few miles from Saltburn By The Sea.Being on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park and the Cleveland Heritage Coast line and yet within comfortable driving distance of the industrial centres of Teesside, 'The Old School' is an absolutely fascinating property of immense charm and character, originally built in 1868 and refurbished in 1988 so as now to offer the enviable combination of the charm and character of a bygone age with the conveniences and luxuries of modern day living. Requiring an internal inspection to be appreciated, 'The Old School' features two stunning baronial style receptions rooms, a superb fitted 'heart of the house' breakfast kitchen and a self contained guest annex/holiday cottage, providing, if required, a regular income. Properties of this calibre are rarely available on the open market and for those seeking a home of presence, style and distinction set in a breath-taking location then 'The Old School' is the property for them.
