A former school house in Larling near Thetford will go under the hammer at auction next month – and according to selling agents, Auction House East Anglia, it is “crying out” to be restored into a family home.

The property on Watton Road in Larling is listed for sale at a guide price of £220,000-£240,000 and offers development potential - subject to planning - as it also comes with a parcel of land which used to be the school’s old playing field.

A spokesperson for Auction House East Anglia says that the property is “how it was many years ago”, and features a main hall with an “impressive” ceiling height and folding doors running through the centre, which were used to divide the large assembly hall into two separate classrooms.

There are two additional rooms leading off the main hall, plus what used to be the boys' and girls’ toilets.

The property is currently granted for commercial use but Auction House East Anglia say it offers “heaps of potential”, subject to the relevant permissions.
