A unique and historic home of exceptional character, offering flexible multi-generational living in a beautiful village setting.
Dating back to circa 1850, The Old School House stands as one of Weston’s most historically significant and architecturally captivating homes. Thoughtfully converted and beautifully maintained, this remarkable residence blends heritage, character, and modern versatility, uniting the former school building with the original house to create one substantial and highly adaptable family home.
Constructed using salvaged stone and brick from Spalding Priory, materials acquired following the demolition of Fulney Hall, the property showcases exceptional craftsmanship throughout. Features such as Tudor-style mullioned windows, a striking Tudor fireplace, and the gentle patina of time add depth and authenticity, while sensitive updates ensure comfort and practicality for contemporary living.
Offering an impressive footprint, the home includes five bedrooms, six reception rooms, two kitchens, two utility rooms, two bathrooms, garaging, and a range of outbuildings. With generous ceiling heights and charming period details throughout, the layout is wonderfully suited to family life, multi-generational living, homeworking, or entertaining on a grand scale.
The Main Residence
A welcoming entrance hall leads to three well-proportioned reception rooms: a cosy lounge, an elegant sitting room, and a formal dining room.
The well-appointed kitchen is complemented by two independent utility rooms, while a light-filled sunroom links the main house to the former school and opens directly onto the gardens. A ground-floor bathroom completes the level.
Upstairs, three bedrooms await, including a delightful third bedroom with its own en suite WC.
The Former School Wing
The old school building has been transformed into an extraordinary living and entertaining space. A dramatic, double-height lounge and dining hall creates a showstopping centrepiece for gatherings of any scale. This wing also includes a study, ideal as an additional bedroom if required, a shower room, boot room, and a second kitchen, offering exceptional flexibility.
Above, a galleried landing leads to two further bedrooms, while an independent spiral staircase ascends to a mezzanine level, enhancing the versatility of this impressive six bedroom arrangement.
Gardens, Outbuildings & Outdoor Living
Set behind a discreet entrance in the heart of the village, the property enjoys a generous and private plot. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, framed by mature trees, established borders, and a series of beautifully designed courtyard spaces, each offering its own ambiance and function throughout the seasons.
A collection of outbuildings adds yet more appeal. A garden room with an adjoining covered dining area creates the perfect setting for alfresco entertaining, while another outbuilding offers excellent potential for a home office, studio, or workshop. A detached garage and ample parking complete the external features.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly exceptional home—rich in architectural history, abundant in charm, and thoughtfully designed to accommodate a wide range of lifestyles, from growing families to those seeking independent living or space for home-based work.
