Description
A FORMER VILLAGE SCHOOL RIPE FOR RENOVATION AND WITH OPPORTUNITY FOR CONVERSION SUBJECT TO THE NECESSARY PLANNING CONSENTS.
The attractive period stone building was purpose built, operating and serving the village as school for many years. After a brief spell of alternative use, the property has stood redundant over recent years and now presents a rare opportunity to the builder, developer or private individual to give the building a fresh purpose.
The original school rooms retain traditional space, proportion and height of the day with tall windows drawing excellent light. Later additions added the function of boys and girls WCs and circulation space and whilst not matching the original attractive appearance, do provide useful additional space for any future development.
Situated within this most desirable of Peak District villages, nestling on the banks of the River Wye which flows south through Bakewell just two miles away, the village boasts a thriving rural community and access not only to the delights of the surrounding countryside but also to the nearby centres of employment Matlock (10 miles), Buxton (10 miles) Sheffield (12 miles).
