Property Description

The Old School House is located along Nottingham Road in Somercotes. The property comprises a detached two storey, three bedroomed building constructed in circa 1875 and situated on a 0.17 acre (or thereabout) plot of land. The property is of traditional red brick construction surmounted by a double pitched slate covered roof. The majority of the windows and door openings have decorative brickwork with gothic arched openings and other period features providing kerb appeal. Internally the accommodation is set over two floors and provides lounge, dining room, kitchen and store on the ground floor with three bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor. Gas central heating with a modern combi boiler was present when we inspected the premises (not tested). The property is set back from the road with a driveway for three cars along with a large rear garden. There are two small outbuildings to the rear of the property of brick construction along with a more recent under cover patio area. We feel the property would benefit from a sympathetic renovation providing a unique detached dwelling with considerable character. There is also scope to create a separate building within the grounds of the property utilising the vehicular access down the side of the current building, which gives way to the garden area beyond. Total site area 0.17 acres or thereabouts. This would be subject to planning consent. Buyers are referred to the Overage Agreement in the legal pack (TP1). Prospective buyers must make all necessary independent enquiries in this respect for their specific, intended use prior to placing their bid, as this will be binding. The property is situated on Nottingham Road (B600), which is the main high street running through Somercotes. In the immediate vicinity is the St Thomas Church along with the Somercotes Infant Nursery School. The wider area comprises mainly upmarket privately owned dwellings.
