AGENTS OPINION
I always enjoy visiting properties that have been converted from buildings that were such an integral part of the local community and old schools were so often the heart of a small community where people gathered caught up with friends before getting on with the day. This certainly was the case in my childhood which is why I could not help but smile as a took my first walk around this lovely home. The former school’esque architecture is there but not overwhelming the home is warm and welcoming with a mixture of cosy sitting rooms and open practical spaces and there is the potential in the large family room which is used as a workshop and storage where with not to much effort would integrate as part of the already generous living space. I would continue to use as a workshop however I think I would be out voted as this would be an amazing open plan family room creating a great space for everyone especially for parties
