The Old School, Church Street, Spalding, PE12 9NL

Set amid open countryside in the peaceful conservation hamlet of Dawsmere, The Old School is an impressive five-bedroom family home combining generous proportions, a fascinating history and a wonderfully rural setting.

Dating from around 1855, this handsome former village school was converted to residential use in the 1960s and has since been extended and sympathetically updated to provide over 3,100 sq ft of highly versatile accommodation.

At the heart of the home are two impressive reception spaces.

The generous dining room flows through a feature archway into a superb 28-foot reception room, where large bay windows fill the space with natural light and frame views across the gardens.

A separate characterful kitchen features painted cabinetry, timber work surfaces, a central island and exposed ceiling beams.

Practicality is equally well considered, with a boot room, laundry room, utility room and cloakroom, while a substantial study/snug provides an excellent home office or additional living space.

Upstairs are five well-proportioned bedrooms, three with en suite facilities, together with a separate family bathroom and useful eaves storage.

Many of the rooms enjoy far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.

The gardens were comprehensively re-landscaped in 2022 and include an impressive terrace of approximately 100 sq m with a covered bar and barbecue area and wood-fired oven, creating an exceptional space for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Mature planting and lawns provide an attractive backdrop, while a large gravel driveway offers extensive parking and access to a detached outbuilding.

Countryside footpaths are close at hand, with Long Sutton, Sutton Bridge and Holbeach all within easy reach.

The A17 provides convenient regional connections, while rail services to London King’s Cross are available from Peterborough and King’s Lynn.

Rich in character and history, The Old School offers an appealing combination of space, flexibility and peaceful country living.
