An Impressive Grade II Listed Five Bedroom Period Property in the heart of Market Drayton, set over Four Floors with Three Reception Rooms, modern Kitchen and Principal Bedroom with En Suite.

Property overview Steeped in history and rich in character, The Old Grammar School is a truly remarkable Queen Anne Grade II listed residence that has stood as a cherished local landmark since 1712.

Originally serving as the town's grammar school, this iconic building is intrinsically linked to the area's heritage, and is brimming with history, character and charm. Arranged over four floors, the accommodation has been updated to a high standard whilst retaining many of its original features including sash windows and striking fireplaces to the main Reception Rooms and Bedrooms.

The main entrance is opposite St Mary's Church, and the striking front door opens into a welcoming Reception Hall on the first floor where you'll find the wonderfully generous Lounge with double doors leading through to an elegant Sitting Room, and a separate Study. These light and spacious reception rooms just ooze character including feature fireplaces, sash windows, high ceilings and exposed floor boards.

Stairs lead down to the ground floor, where a formal Dining Room continues the sense of light and character, and is complemented by a charming Breakfast Kitchen with direct access to the Garden. A large Utility Room and separate Cloakroom complete this level.

Returning to the Reception Hall, and stairs lead up to the second floor where you'll find four well-proportioned Double Bedrooms and a substantial family Bathroom.

From the Landing, stairs lead up to the Principal Bedroom with Dressing Area and En Suite which occupy the entire top floor creating a spacious bedroom suite with beams and character throughout.

Externally, the property fronts the courtyard of St Mary's Church, giving this property a unique outlook in the heart of Market Drayton's conservation area. The tiered Gardens have been landscaped providing Indian stone patio areas, timber decking and a useful garden shed.

Brimming with history, character and charm, yet perfectly suited to modern living, The Old Grammar School is an extraordinary home that offers a unique lifestyle opportunity in one of Shropshire's most picturesque settings.
