3 bed detached house for sale

Old School House, Norton, Presteigne LD8

The Old School House, built in 1908, occupies a delightful edge-of-village position in the picturesque rural village of Norton, just 2 miles from the historic border town of Presteigne. The property adjoins open farmland to one side, enjoying a peaceful setting with lovely countryside views.

This immaculately presented detached Edwardian residence retains many original period features and was formerly the schoolhouse for the adjacent Norton village school. It was once home to the school’s headteacher until the school closed in the 1950’s.

Norton is surrounded by unspoilt countryside, offering endless opportunities for walking and exploration. Just 2 miles away lies Presteigne, a charming borderland town set in the heart of the Marches and often referred to as the “Gateway to Wales.” Formerly the county town of Radnorshire, Presteigne is renowned for its vibrant cultural scene, hosting the Presteigne Festival of Music and Arts (formerly the Sheep Music Festival), which attracts internationally recognised composers and performers.

The town is also home to the award-winning Judge’s Lodgings Museum, a recipient of numerous national accolades, and is celebrated for its strong community spirit, independent shops, and thriving local businesses along the high street.
