From £1,025,000: listed West Hackney Parochial School has been remodelled into nine individual houses

Back in the 1830s, master builder Thomas Cubitt cut his teeth in Stoke Newington, before moving on to create Belgravia for aristocratic landlord Grosvenor Estate.

Lovely West Hackney Parochial School is a remnant from this period, a listed gem that fell on hard times with Stoke Newington’s 20th-century decline, first morphing into a snooker hall and ending up as an electricals storage warehouse.

Now the building, called Grange Hall, has been remodelled into nine highly individual houses with original features such as arched windows and vaulted ceilings.
