Due to this the property has had bits added to fit all these needs but would do with someone developing it to highlight its original features.
The property consists of the school hall with original oak flooring, large windows (some with stained glass) and beautiful beams. It has since had a kitchen fitted in the middle and the start of an upstairs. Off the hall is two rooms with their own fireplace and upstairs from these are two bedroom, one with en suite bathroom.
