A superb renovation and redevelopment opportunity comprising a 4 bedroom detached school house and unconverted Victorian former village school.
Set in the heart of the village in a delightful position overlooking the impressive village church this property was once the village school and beating heart of Metfield. Now it offers enormous potential to renovate and convert subject to planning permission, together with the original school house that again offers huge potential to modernise and refurbish. In addition, to both buildings there is an area of land between the two that has lapsed planning permission for a detached dwelling.
The Victorian former school building is still in its original layout and comprises the main hall which is vaulted and a large open classroom with stairs to a first floor that is currently storage. The building has been used as a pottery workshop and store. To the rear is a covered courtyard and additional outbuildings. It offers huge potential to convert to a stunning property subject to planning permission and has lapsed planning permission to divide and create 2 residential properties..
The school house consists of an entrance hall with open tread staircase and corridor to the rear. There is a double aspect sitting room with fireplace and a further reception room with woodburning stove. There is a kitchen with large range of units. To the side is a potential office, shower room and utility room that opens to the attached garage. On the first floor is a double aspect principal bedroom with dressing area and views over the church plus 3 further bedrooms and a bathroom.
There is a south-facing garden with an open view over the church and churchyard. This is a unique and special opportunity in this location.
