A rare offering to the market, this fabulous former school conversion was built in 1859 and subsequently sympathetically converted into two highly individual and characterful homes. Boasting an array of character and high-quality fittings, the property is centrally located to Barrow upon Soar's village centre. The property comprises an entrance hall, large central inner hall, contemporary breakfast room/kitchen, impressive dining room and large lounge with open fire and there is a ground floor shower room.
