The Property

Old School House is a Victorian Grade II Listed former School House, built in circa 1860 and designed by Samuel Teulon who was an English Gothic Revival Architect noted for his use of polychrome brickwork. The nearby Elvetham Hall was also designed by Samuel Teulon and the School House was originally built as the school for the farmworker’s children on the Elvetham Estate, featuring a number of stone mullion windows with leaded octagons within a reticulated pattern.

In 1990 the building was converted into a residential property and a large extension to the rear was added and linked to a new double garage. Today, the exceptional architectural features of this old school house are retained and inside contemporary features abound within vast spaces.

The exquisite polychrome brickwork is of note in this fine Grade II listed property, which is approached via a semi-circular in and out driveway in a rural location on the outskirts of Hartley Wintney in Hampshire. The property provides around 3,845 sq. ft. of spaces (including garage / store etc.) and the interior is exquisite throughout.
