Description
This former Victorian schoolhouse, built in 1869, offers a unique opportunity to restore and reimagine a 5,300 sq. ft. space with soaring ceilings, original brickwork, and arched windows. The property has a rich history and retains much of its original character, including vast school halls, classrooms, and workshops. With over 6,300 sq. ft. of internal space and multiple staircases, entrances, and dividing points, the property can be reimagined as three individual dwellings or a single show-stopping home. The property also offers flexibility for creative or wellness-led use, or a bold architectural reimagining of a village landmark, subject to necessary consents. The property is situated in a compact plot with mature hedging and fencing, offering a backdrop of countryside calm and proximity to the River Great Ouse. The A1 is nearby, providing instant access to road links north and south, and mainline stations at Sandy and Biggleswade. This is a project for someone who wants a challenge, with the potential to unlock its full potential and create something truly extraordinary.
