1 The Old School House 15 North Street Roxby North Lincolnshire DN15 0BL

2 Seller Insight This attractive Victorian building is set in the village of Roxby. As the local school, the building played an integral part in village life, and externally is preserved as a charming reminder of another time. The interior is now a seamless merger of original features with the sophisticated comforts of the twenty first century. The village enjoys a rural location and is a friendly community with various activities. It is a short distance from Scunthorpe, with its comprehensive shopping centre, whilst Lincoln and Meadowhall are within a reasonable distance. Roxby is also only a few miles from the pleasant town of Winterton, and for those wanting exercise it is a pretty country walk away, with perhaps a pub lunch before the return journey. The M62 and M180 provide excellent road links. When the present owners viewed the house, it needed some care and attention, but they immediately saw the great potential to transform the house, into not just a comfortable home, but a thoroughly modern one that also embraced its history. They worked hard to bring the house up to date, laying new floors and opening up the kitchen to create a large living space. Their meticulous attention to detail is seen in the inner arches they refashioned to echo the window shape. The old playground is a lawned area, softened by mature trees, colourful borders and palms. It remains a child friendly area and is a tranquil space where you can sit and look across the fields stretching into the distance. It is a private oasis. The owners are sad to be leaving the house, but the time has come to downsize. They will miss everything about The Old School House; they have loved its unique character and the pleasure it has given them.* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
