Wreck Of The Week

The Property: The Old Girls School

The Place: Butterwick, Boston, Lincolnshire

The Price: £199,950 (Guide)

The Pain: This is Grade II listed and quite old (c.1859), and as a consequence you’ll have to tread carefully with your conversion plans. Any building this old has the potential to throw up costly surprises.

The Gain: It’s a charming old Victorian structure with some fine period features, including a tumbled gable, a projecting chimney stack, mullioned windows with cast iron lattice casements and fish scale tiled roofs.

The large central room with a timbered vaulted ceiling presents an interesting challenge: it’s a fantastic space that measures 39′11″ x 20′0″. Do you carve it up or keep it as is?

The agent estimates that it could cost £50,000-£75,000 to convert and if some of the adjoining land is included it could fetch £300,000 when completed.

The village is just down the road and has a pub, a general store, a post office and the Pinchbeck Endowed CE School.
