If you've ever wanted to own an historic home, now could be your chance, with a former 19th-century school house in Essendon up for sale.
The Old School House in Grubbs Lane is on the market for £1.25 million, having been listed by Vanessa McCallum Estates.
The building was part of the Woodhill School, later renamed Westfield School, which was founded in 1850 and stayed open well into the 1960s.
As for the home itself, it comes with four bedrooms and three bathrooms located on the first and second floor, as well as a unique enclosed terrace connected to one of the first floor bedrooms.
On the ground floor, there is a spacious living room and kitchen-dining room, which adjoins to an ornately painted reception room.
Outside, there is expansive garden space, a garage, annex and terrace.
Despite all of this, listing agent Vanessa McCallum Estates describes the property as a "project" which needs "considerable refurbishment".
"This is a rarely available opportunity to purchase a former school house in need of considerable refurbishment," the listing reads.
"It's not for the faint-hearted, but a superb chance to purchase this approximately 2,800sqft property which is situated on a superb west facing plot of around one acre.
"Set behind gates, this property is secluded and currently offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms and two reception rooms. There is plenty of scope to enlarge further - subject to the usual planning consents."
