THE LIBRARY, 19 THE OLD SCHOOL, BURTON DRIVE, RETFORD, NOTTINGHAMSHIRE, DN22 6TP

DESCRIPTION
An opportunity to acquire an atmospheric residence of considerable character converted in this beautiful landmark building, the original Edward VI Grammar School.

In a secure gated environment the property offers a reversed layout meaning sleeping space is on the ground floor and living space is at the first floor to capture the wonderful character accents of substantial vaulted ceiling with exposed beam work, stone architectural detailing and stone mullion windows.

From the communal courtyard and original cloisters of this elegant building, a substantial door opens to the reception hall which boasts fitted storage and flows around to the ground floor bedrooms both of which have en suite facilities.

An elegant staircase ascends passed the mullion windows to the first floor space which is galleried over the hallway below. An open plan living dining arrangement is provided with the kitchen hosting a good range of contemporary units and integrated appliances. At the opposite end there is a useful store room and cloakroom with wc having feature minstrel's gallery over.

Outside residents enjoy excellent communal grounds of gardens and sitting out areas with sweeping pathways. There are multiple gated access points from London Road and Dominie Cross Road/Pennington Walk with secure entry system. The Library benefits from two dedicated parking spaces in addition to which there is occasional visitor parking within the grounds.

LOCATION
Originally the library to the King Edward VI Grammar School, the property nestles within the heart of this sympathetic conversion scheme. The Old School is a landmark building on the primary southern approach to the town centre enjoying frontage to London Road and set behind its Grade II listed railed walling.

The location means that town centre amenities are readily on hand together with other facilities such as the railway station which benefits from direct service into London Kings Cross. Retford also hosts a full range of residential and leisure amenities. The primary care centre is situated just to the north of the town centre. Transport links are excellent by road, rail and air.
