The Old School, Knighton, presents a rare and compelling opportunity to acquire a landmark Victorian building of significant historical and architectural merit in the heart of the Welsh Marches.
Dating from 1865, this imposing former school stands as a testament to the educational and civic ambitions of the Victorian era, offering a unique blend of period character, robust construction, and versatile internal space. Set within its own railed yard and enjoying a prominent position at the north end of Knighton, the property is ideally placed for a range of future uses—residential, commercial, or mixed—subject to securing the necessary planning and heritage consents.
Designated as a Grade II listed building, The Old School is protected for its special architectural and historic interest, with its distinctive Gothic Revival styling, original materials, and carefully considered layout all contributing to its enduring appeal. The building’s generous proportions, high ceilings and abundance of natural light create a dramatic canvas for restoration and adaptation, while its setting—adjacent to open recreation grounds and within easy reach of Knighton’s amenities—enhances its desirability for investors, developers, and heritage enthusiasts alike.
With the Welsh property market demonstrating resilience and a growing appetite for distinctive period conversions, The Old School, Knighton, represents an exceptional investment prospect. Whether envisaged as a grand family home, a boutique residential development, creative workspaces, or a community hub, this property offers the scale, flexibility and provenance to deliver a truly outstanding project.

If considering a mortgage, we advise that you inspect and consider the property carefully with your lender before bidding.
By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
