The Old School is a four bedroom former school, enjoying a generous plot, which dates back to the early 1800's and is situated in the desirable village of West Knapton between the City of York and the Yorkshire coast. This period property was restored in 1912 and officially closed as a school in 1976. Our vendors have lived here for over 35 years and have lovingly restored the house, to create a wonderful family home providing modern day living whilst retaining the history, character and features of the property throughout.
Externally the property has a gravelled driveway with parking for multiple vehicles, garages, workshop and out stores, the school yard forms part of a walled garden whilst the main lawn is surrounded by an established wild flower garden, interesting trees, a variety of fruit and nut trees, raised vegetable beds and shrubs. In all a very well stocked garden, carefully designed to be as low maintenance as possible, yet provide a stunning show year in year round.
West Knapton is a conveniently situated village, located approximately 7 miles east of the sought-after market town of Malton and roughly 17 miles west of Scarborough. The nearby village of Rillington offers a good range of basic amenities, including primary school, Doctor's surgery, two pubs and a village shop and post office. There is easy access to the A64 for anyone commuting plus a good regular bus service. The East Coast is readily accessible along with York to the west and the motorway network beyond.
