Originally built in 1902 as a prestigious boarding school for girls and infants, The Old School underwent a significant evolution, transitioning from a grammar school to ultimately becoming a college. In a remarkable transformation in 2017, this venerable establishment has been reborn as an exquisite residence, featuring 24 unique and contemporary apartments. Meticulously converted with expertise and empathy, the building retains its historical allure, showcasing original elements like sash windows, high ceilings, and painted brickwork. The conversion is a testament to the masterful preservation of the old school's character, ambiance and rich history.
