Lea Road, Gainsborough, DN21
Description
Step into a piece of Gainsborough history. Originally opened in the late 19th century as the Lea Road School, for decades these halls were the heart of the community; today, they offer a unique collection of high-specification homes. Behind the striking original facade, you’ll find soaring ceilings and expansive windows that flood the space with natural light—features that only a heritage conversion can provide.
Located on the edge of the town centre, The Old School House offers a perfect balance of local heritage and modern convenience. This isn't just a place to live; it’s a chance to own a landmark.
Historical Highlights
• Timeline: The school served the community for decades. In 1945, it became the Gainsborough Lea Road County Primary School and the Lea Road Secondary Modern School for Girls.
• Renaming: In 1956, the secondary side was renamed Gainsborough South Secondary School before closing in 1965. The infant school section continued until 1994.
• Architecture: It is a classic example of Victorian/Edwardian educational architecture. While many locals believe it is a listed building, it is actually not currently on the Historic England list, giving more flexibility for development.
