DRAFT DETAILS ONLY.
Occupying an unrivalled location with extensive open views over adjoining countryside to rear and across to Kedleston, an opportunity to acquire a most attractive former village hall and meeting rooms, of typical Victorian character having vehicular access and enclosed walled yard, with fields to two boundaries.
The accommodation is fairly extensive with a high cathedral style roof to the main hall, and there might be possibilities to create a mezzanine floor subject to planning. In any event the premises lend themselves to a variety of purposes, perhaps principally residential conversion and interested parties should make their own enquiries from the local planning authority (Amber Valley Borough council). The sale certainly represents a unique opportunity.
Formerly the village school, the property has a walled frontage to Lower Road with both double gates enclosing vehicular access, and single gates to what was the play ground and entrance area. Windows are largely stone mullioned, with interesting tiled detailing to the roof. The accommodation offered is as follows
