Old School Coffee House Formerly Horwoods School, Church Lane, Barnstaple - North Devon

This two storey grade II* listed school house has been in single use, first as a school and then as a coffee shop since the C17. Despite being restored at the beginning of the C20, it retains many original features and an intact internal layout. The building has not been in active use for approximately three years. The new owner initially planned to subdivide the building into two units which would cause harm, but current proposals are now to use the building as a single domestic unit.
