The Opportunity
The property comprises a detached three storey period building; it was originally a private residence, then subsequently occupied as a doctor’s surgery, before the Vendor acquired the property to be operated as a co-educational independent school for 90 children. The School closed several years ago and the property has been vacant since. Therefore, it requires refurbishment to bring back into use.
The main school building is of solid brick construction with single glazed timber framed sash and casement windows, under a double pitched tiled roof. On the ground floor of the main building are two large classrooms, staff kitchen and WCs. On the first floor are 4 classrooms, WC and book library. On the second floor is an office, music room and WC.
There is a further single storey timber-clad pre-fabricated building which was used for additional teaching accommodation.
