The smaller property, Howslack which started life as the school master’s accommodation, has been partly renovated already to make a one-bedroomed cottage, although there is space for it to be further extended.

The main property is in need of a full renovation and is presented with the downstairs stripped out and ready for work to begin.

As it is, it would make a four bedroomed house, with two public rooms and a dining kitchen, or again, could be extended with the right consents.

Both properties have a good-sized garden too. The Old School House has nearly five acres including a paddock, while Howslack Cottage has over an acre of garden.

There could also be development potential on the paddock with the right planning permission so as a whole, it could be a project to keep the purchaser busy for years.
