It is an honour for Wm Sykes and Son to he be asked to handle the sale of this unique Grade II Listed building on behalf of the Diocese of Leeds. The property is of traditional stone built construction beneath a stone slate roof and was originally constructed circa 1839 for use as a National School. It was subsequently used for Church services and as a Sunday School. The building extends to approximately 2000 square feet of accommodation with an entrance hall, WCs and kitchen on the lower level, large main hall with exposed stone walls and superb arched windows at mid level and a further meeting / classroom on the upper floor. Externally, there is a small outbuilding (former WCs to the side) and a small curtilage of land surrounding the building. The property offers excellent potential for a change of use and conversion subject to planning and listed building consent.
