High Road, Weston, Spalding, Lincolnshire, PE12

A unique and historic home of exceptional character, offering flexible multi-generational living in a beautiful village setting.

Description

Dating back to circa 1850, The Old School House is undoubtedly one of the most historically significant and architecturally intriguing properties in the Weston area.

Thoughtfully converted and sympathetically maintained, this remarkable residence weaves together heritage, charm, and flexibility—combining the former school building with the original house to create one substantial and versatile family home.

Constructed using salvaged stone and brick from Spalding Priory, purchased following the demolition of Fulney Hall, the property displays exceptional artisanry. Notable features include Tudor mullioned windows, a striking Tudor fireplace, and the subtle patina of age that can only be achieved with time. These architectural echoes of the past are beautifully balanced by the thoughtful updates and comfort required for contemporary family life.

With high ceilings, charming features throughout, the home comprises five bedrooms, six reception rooms, two bathrooms, two kitchens, two utility rooms, garaging and outbuildings, this characterful home lends itself well for family living in addition to multi-generational living, home business use, or simply entertaining on a grand scale.

The main residence opens into a welcoming entrance hall, leading to three well-proportioned reception rooms: a cosy lounge, an elegant sitting room, and a formal dining room. The kitchen is well-appointed and accompanied by two independent utility rooms, while a sunroom provides a natural link to the old school and access to the gardens. A ground-floor bathroom completes the main level, with three well-proportioned bedrooms on the first floor, including a charming third bedroom with its own en suite WC.

In the former school wing, an extraordinary double-height lounge and dining room is showstopping space perfect for family gatherings or entertaining on a large scale. A separate study which could function as a downstairs bedroom across from a shower room, a boot room, a second kitchen provided separate spaces from the large reception space. Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to two further bedrooms, completing a highly flexible six-bedroom layout overall with an independent spiral staircase leading to a mezzanine.

Gardens, Outbuildings and Outdoor Entertaining
The impressive gardens provide different spaces. Set behind a discreet entrance in the heart of the village, the property enjoys a generous and private plot. The grounds are laid mostly to lawn, framed by established borders, mature trees, and a series of beautifully designed courtyard areas—each offering a different mood or function throughout the seasons.

A range of outbuildings adds further flexibility: a garden room with an adjoining covered dining area is ideal for alfresco entertaining, while a separate outbuilding offers potential as a home office, studio, or workshop. A detached garage and ample parking area complete the exterior offering, creating a setting that is as practical as it is picturesque.

This is a rare opportunity to own an exceptional property that not only reflects the architectural history of the region but also offers an incredibly flexible layout suited to a range of lifestyles—from growing families to those seeking space for home working or independent living.
