Description

School House is a historic property in Woodnewton village that was once a tenanted cottage belonging to the Apethorpe Estate. In 1921, the estate donated the property to the parish church, which converted it into a school and the head teacher's residence. The property has a rich history, having been the home to nine head teachers, and has undergone renovations over the years, including a major reconstruction after a thatch fire in 1949. Today, the house is unoccupied and in need of improvement, but still retains many original features, including two comfortable reception rooms, a basic kitchen, and two double bedrooms. The property has a garden with a high stone wall to the front and a mature yew tree to the rear. Located in a popular village with a pub and footpaths, School House is a unique opportunity to own a piece of history.
