General Description
Originally constructed in 1871 as ‘Buerton British School’ together with a headmasters house the properties continued to be used for educational purposes until the early 2000’s. The school building was extended to the rear in the 1990’s to create an additional classroom and toilets and now offers versatile accommodation that can be used for retail, office, treatment or alterative commercial uses (STP) where necessary. Both buildings are constructed from brick elevations supporting pitched clay tiled roof surfaces and retain many of their original decorative features. The properties are set back slightly from the main road and are situated within a 0.3 acre plot much of which is surfaced in tarmac providing ample onsite parking. There is also a more private area of garden land adjacent to the house and facing the village green. The vendors live in the house and operate their business from the old school and have enjoyed the rare privilege and benefit of being able to do so and are now reluctantly offering the property to the market due to work commitments out of the area.
