The Old School House was opened in 1913 and was closed several years ago when a new school was built nearby. The building is heritage listed, constructed in brick and sandstone and has original double hung huon pine windows. The Old School House was used for a period for an army rehabilitation hospital as the army barracks are adjacent. The main building was developed as four large apartments and the initial purchasers from 2003 are still the current owners.

Following redevelopment, the upgraded building won Tasmania Architectural Awards in 2004, (Heritage Architecture: Residential additions and alterations) and apartment 3 was recognised by the Mercury newspaper when reviewing Tasmania’s 50 finest homes in 2007 as probably Hobart’s best apartment. Apartment 3 is situated on the first level on the western side of the building and enjoys sun throughout the day.

Additionally, there is substantial common area on both levels of entrance foyer and landing which, in practical terms is almost exclusively used by the owner of apartment 3. There is also a large capacity lift from the entrance foyer to the upper landing. The property is a 3 bedroom apartment of which two have ensuites and the third has a large shower room opposite.

In addition to the main lounge/dining area and adjacent kitchen, there is a separate sun room, laundry and powder room. Within the 3 car garage, there is a storeroom, a toilet and handbasin with an additional hot water cylinder.

The owners store area within the old army building is caged and due to the buildings construction is ideally suited to wine storage. Kitchen appliances are all ‘Gaggenau’, the main room has reverse cycle air conditioning, the bedrooms have wall panel heating, the main room and bedrooms have remote controlled ceiling fans. All rooms have TV and phone connections. There is an extensive chattels list which accompanies the property.
