Being offered for the very first time on the open market, a rare opportunity to acquire this attractive, red brick double fronted house that was formerly the School House to St. Andrews School and residence for the Master. It was privately sold sometime in the 1930's and has been a happy home for the current owners family ever since.

The house retains some original character such as lovely ornate brickwork and architecture on the impressive chimney stacks outside, together with the ornate balustrades to the staircase and the majority of original doors remain in situ. inside. Now in need of modernisation throughout, it allows for a buyer to put their own stamp on the property and create an up-to-date living space to suit their needs and taste.

Double glazing and gas central heating feature throughout (un-tested) and the accommodation in brief offers: Traditional hallway leading to two reception rooms, one each side of the hall. In turn this takes you through to the kitchen, which is divided into two distinct areas at present, plus a downstairs cloakroom/w.c. A covered 'lean-to' leads to an outside w.c and the rear garden..

The owner was a keen model train enthusiast and as such partly converted the upstairs space to indulge his hobby.
