Delightful and charming former school set in a semi rural village location The Old School is a deceptively spacious, uniquely configured and versatile home it s truly a must see...

The Old School is absolutely full to bursting with character. Built in 1862, it was Wyberton s School until 1955 when it become too overcrowded to sustain. 74 pupils and 2 teachers shared one main classroom at the time of closure, where the nearby Wyberton Academy was then constructed to take over. Almost 70 years have past since little feet were running across this property, but those same floorboards remain firmly in place, having been stained and treated to cope with decades of traffic, along with many original features that have been carefully preserved and tastefully modernised around. Ornate woodwork on the gable ends, slate tile roofing, pointed tops to the internal doors; all are loved and preserved character features in an otherwise modernised and comfortable residence.

The home offers flexibility as far as room use is concerned. Does your large family require up to six bedrooms? That s fine! The multiple reception rooms are all sizeable and well proportioned, meaning they would make ideal and suitable bedrooms if needed. Could you live with just three bedrooms, but desire the likes of a snug, a study and a hobby room? You can have it all with The Old School 12 rooms across over 1,700sq ft of accommodation ensure that you have space and versatility to live in the way that you not only need to, but want to.

Stand out features for us include a fantastic sized dining kitchen, with a secondary staircase that leads up to a bedroom with a room big enough to be a walk in closet, the large lounge that has the original floorboards exposed running all the way through, and the large master bedroom with its own ensuite bathroom. The whole plot is set inside tall mature hedging to all sides, something akin to a garden maze or labyrinth, making it feel secluded and private. Yet, the tall windows on the ground floor, and the range of broad Velux style sky lights through out the first floor, cascade wonderful amounts of natural light in, giving the balanced feel of it being so bright and open.

The Old School is most certainly a unique and interesting home, that is fully deserving of a more in depth investigation. If you seek something packed with character, with comfortable sized rooms, that is close to amenities yet set within a quiet semi rural location, then look no further.
