Iconic Building

Originally established in 1902 as an esteemed boarding school for girls and infants, The Old School has undergone a remarkable journey of transformation. Evolving from a grammar school to a college over the decades, it experienced its most dramatic change in 2017, when it was thoughtfully reimagined as an elegant residential development. Now home to 24 distinctive and modern apartments, the building has been expertly and sensitively converted, preserving its historic charm. Original features such as sash windows, soaring ceilings, and painted brickwork remain intact, reflecting a deep respect for the building’s heritage. This exceptional renovation is a true tribute to the enduring character, atmosphere, and storied past of The Old School.

Application Process

If you are interested in this property, please request the application pack from Morris & Bott.
After the application closing date, all applications will be sent to the Landlord who will shortlist the applications received. Any shortlisted applicants will be invited to view the property in person to see if they would still like to proceed. Once actual viewings have taken place, the Landlord will decide who they would like to progress to the referencing with and at this point the holding deposit will be requested and referencing undertaken. Please note that we will be contacting both successful and unsuccessful applicants shortly after the closing date to advise them of the outcome - this can take a few days depending on how long it takes for the Landlord to review.

The property will be removed from the market after the closing date - this will be done before the Landlord has made a decision.
