Description

Wombleton's former village school was built in 1913 but it no longer houses a classroom of young scholars for during the 1980's it was converted into the dwellinghouse you see today. Situated along Flatts Lane on the eastern fringe of the village, the property displays all the external features one would expect including the old school bell still in situ, the playground and even the girls and boys outside toilets now tidily converted into a useful workshop and garden stores with water and drainage connected.

As part of the 1980's conversion the classroom to the north was converted into 3 bedrooms plus a study (previously used as a dining room) and the vast sitting room with its high ceiling, original timber floor, moulded archtiraves and "Wilk's Sliding Partition' has quite clearly been the principal classroom in its day. Heating is via a mains gas boiler newly installed in April 2025 plus a coal effect gas fire in the sitting room. Windows are double glazed and a number of them were replaced in 2016 with uPVC frames. An extension to the original building was added approx. 25 years ago to create additional living space along with an integral garage with front & back, up and over doors.

Within the curtliage is a lawned garden including a lean-to greenhouse and productive fruit trees. With some creative landscaping and to make best use of the space, the old school playground could be made into a wonderful garden and planting area.

There is huge potential with this property, for reconfiguring or simply refurbishing and it will no doubt appeal to those keen for a manageable project within a building that historically, has such strong connections to the village.
