This “stunning” period home for sale was once the village primary school and has “enchanting” gardens and country views. 

The Old School, in Mitchell, dates back to the early 1900s, having been built as the village’s primary school and later used as the working men’s club.

The agent commented: “The Old School is arguably one of the prettiest homes we've encountered. 

“Steeped in history, this early 20th-century building began life as the village primary school, served as the village working men’s club for many years, and has now been transformed into a stunning family home. 

“Each custodian has lovingly maintained it, preserving an abundance of gorgeous original features while integrating modern comforts expected by today's buyers.”
