"A Hidden Gem"
The Old School, School Lane, Weldon
Nestled in the heart of this sought-after village and overlooking the picturesque village green, The Old School is a unique and characterful former Victorian schoolhouse, originally dating back to 1820 and sympathetically extended in 1872. This striking property served as the village school until 1973 and has since been thoughtfully converted into a beautiful home that blends original period charm with modern luxury.
The home retains many of its original features, including pine floorboards and stunning stone mullioned windows, while also benefiting from a tasteful restoration that incorporates designer fittings throughout. The generous accommodation includes:
A welcoming lounge with feature fireplace
Three further, versatile reception rooms
A refitted, stylish, bespoke kitchen complete with high specification built-in appliances
Separate utility room
Master bedroom suite with ensuite and private dressing area
Guest bedroom with ensuite
A high-spec family shower room
All bathrooms have been upgraded with Phillipe Starck sanitaryware, reflecting the high standard of the renovation.
Outside, the property enjoys private, enclosed lawned gardens with a patio area, ideal for entertaining or quiet enjoyment. Parking is provided via a gravelled yard. Please note that while planning permission for garaging had previously been granted, this has since lapsed.
Situated on charming School Lane, The Old School shares its historical setting with the nearby Round House (drunk tank) — the 18th-century former village jail. Weldon is a thriving community offering a well-regarded primary school, a variety of shops, and a welcoming public house.
The historic market town of Oundle lies approximately 7 miles to the east, known for its traditional, family-run businesses and vibrant Market Place. For broader amenities, the nearby towns of Corby, Kettering, and Stamford offer extensive shopping, leisure, and transport options
