A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY A HISTORIC PROPERTY IN THE CENTRE OF DRIFFIELD. School House is a Grade II listed building by the renown Victorian architect Cuthbert Brodrick who also designed Leeds Town Hall and The Grand Hotel, Scarborough. Built in 1854 as the Headmaster’s House for Driffield Church of England Infant School, the property, whilst requiring a substantial refurbishment, retains many of its original features.

The property provides extensive accommodation and is in a particularly attractive location, literally within a stone’s throw of the centre of Driffield.

There is off-street parking, situated off Mill Street, a long drive and further potential to create a larger vehicle access, if required.

The accommodation on offer includes two main reception rooms, kitchen/diner and utility room plus cloakroom with shower room and WC. The first floor includes three good-sized bedrooms plus large landing and bathroom.

Buyers can expect to find a wealth of character features associated with a property of this style including leaded windows, quarry tiled flooring and perhaps one of the widest front doors in Driffield!

In summary, this is a chance to purchase and refurbish a truly distinctive home at the heart of Driffield. Ideal for couples, families and indeed many other discerning buyers looking for something that is certainly not run of the mill.
