Agent completes sale of heritage buildings

A prominent heritage building in a Derbyshire town is set for a new lease of life thanks to a deal completed by Salloway Property Consultants.

Martyn and Claire Jones, owners of Claire’s School Solutions, are taking the opportunity to create their own modern office by renovating The Old School House, in Green Lane, Belper.

Originally serving as an educational institution, the property has been repurposed over the years to include uses such as a restaurant, pub and bar.

The property has not been consistently occupied for a number of years now – but the new purchasers are hoping to breathe a new life into the building.

William Speed, from Salloways, who acted on behalf of a private client, said: “It’s great to see a heritage building such as The Old School House being repurposed to provide a different occupational use.

“Heritage buildings such as this sometimes fall by the wayside and can blight a town centre.

“I have full faith in Martyn and Claire being able to bring this property back to life and making it a highlight of Belper town centre.”
