A 19th-century schoolhouse converted into a family home has been listed for sale at £575,000. The three-bedroom property is part of School Villas, formerly St Mary's Primary School, on Stanley Lane in Eastham, Wirral.
Built in 1852, the school closed in 2007 and has since been transformed into four Grade II-listed homes. The property is the largest of the four residences within the former school.
Original features retained
The large living room and kitchen occupy what was once the school hall, where children gathered for morning assembly. The house retains original details, including Gothic-style windows and exposed timber beams.
The main lounge features a double-height vaulted ceiling, Juliet balconies on the first floor, an exposed sandstone feature wall, and Gothic windows. A mezzanine overlooks the living room, and the kitchen sits at the back of the ground floor, with double doors opening onto the patio and garden.
Layout and outdoor space
The property includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms on the first floor, and a WC on the ground floor. Outside, the private rear garden offers a patio, lawned area, and gated access to two allocated parking spaces.
School Villas is located in the heart of Eastham Village and is described as an exclusive development known for its architecture and heritage. The home is on the market with Lesley Hooks estate agents at a guide price of £575,000.
