" Fine and Country Northern Lincolnshire are delighted to offer to the market The Old School which been essential to the centre of the village since its construction in 1884 by the Earl of Scarborough.

Converted to a family home in the 1980's, the Old School retains its original proportions to create generous ground floor living space of simple distinction and charm whilst affording the opportunity for further enhancement if required.

The colour washed facade with its original rails and Gothic style entrance door welcomes the purchaser via an entrance hall into a 28'6 triple aspect sitting room converted from the former classroom. In addition to the separate study there is a good sized dining room which overlooks the rear grounds and a generous oak effect breakfast kitchen with utility off is the practical heart of the home: ideal for informal entertaining.

To the first floor two of the three bedrooms overlook St Michaels Church.

The Old School is situated within the conservation area of this sought after commuter village which lies some 12 miles from the cathedral city of Lincoln with its highly sought Minster school as well as being in the area for Gainsborough Grammar school. For commuters it takes only 35 minutes approximately travel time to reach the Newark Northgate station for main line trains to London.

There are lawned grounds to three sides of the property together with extensive off road parking and garaging.
