Schooling in the area includes Curdworth and Minworth Primary School, which are just a few of the local schools with excellent reputations. Purchasers are advised to check with the local council for up to date school catchment areas.

The property is ideally situated for the M42 and M6, with fast communications to the north and to London. The comprehensive facilities of both Sutton Coldfield and Tamworth can be accessed within a short commute and an excellent local road network offers access to nearby motorway connections including M6 Toll, M6, M42, Junction 9 or 10, and the A5 and A38.

The town of Sutton Coldfield is easily accessible with a range of well-known high street shops and restaurants. Tamworth is also nearby and has the benefit of a large shopping retail park at Ventura.

Description of Property
The Old School House offers guest accommodation in a lovely canal-side setting. As a lifestyle business for the current owner, it has been run as a guest house/bed and breakfast. It can be sold as a going concern complete with some associated items of furniture, carpets, curtains, and bedding, etc. There is enormous scope for an owner-operator to increase trade should they wish, as the current owners limit the number of guests they accommodate. Alternatively, there is scope for residential conversion or commercial redevelopment (subject to the usual planning consents).

In terms of its history, in April 1880, Curdworth school opened to thirty-one children, most of whom were from the farming community. The school closed in 1969, and the children were relocated to a new school on Farthing Lane in 1968.

The accommodation briefly comprises a welcoming reception hallway into the residents' lounge with its traditional features and staircase leading up to the first-floor guest accommodation. Within the residents' lounge are various areas to relax with comfy sofas and space for coffee or an afternoon newspaper. In the evening, guests can enjoy a drink from the bar.

Off the lounge is the dining room where breakfast is served. The room is often also used for function hire. Leading off from the dining room is the rear hall, offering access to the garden and additional accommodation, male and female toilets, and the games room.

The kitchen is located off the main residents' lounge and additionally serves the manager's accommodation. Featuring a range of wall and floor units surmounted with complementary worktops, various built-in appliances. A breakfast bar offers additional work and storage space.

The first-floor accommodation is accessed from the main residents' lounge and includes a first-floor landing with guest accommodation to include: 4 double bedrooms, 2 single rooms, each with en-suite bathrooms.

The owner's private accommodation is completely self-contained and accessed from the side East entrance. The private accommodation comprises a hall with a guest cloakroom, a living room, a staircase to the first floor, a bedroom (front), a bathroom, and a bedroom (rear) with a dressing room.
