A converted Victorian school house in Teddington is up for sale for £3.95m.

Chantry House in Teddington was originally built for the Sacred Heart Catholic School, for which it served for more than a century, before it was converted to a five-bedroom family home in the late 1990s. 

The school relocated to Bushy Park Road in the 1960's, after which the building fell into disrepair and was sold in 1998.

The current owners and their family have been in residence since then and are selling as they are moving to a new home.

The brick Neoclassical building on Fairfax Road spans 5,731 square feet across three stories as well as a basement.

It features sash windows, French doors, parquet flooring, high ceiling heights and decorative plasterwork on the interior, as well as a rear garden and off-street parking. 

A brochure from estate agent, Dexters, who is marketing the property says: "This is an extraordinary place, detached and with windows on all sides, all of the rooms are bright and interesting with high ceilings.

"The living area and Orangery both open out onto the rear garden and other ground floor rooms include a boot room, TV snug and study.

"The main bedroom suite includes two dressing rooms and a sitting room. On the lower ground floor is a games/cinema room, gym, shower room and laundry. There are two parking spaces.

"A sympathetic restoration was carried out and the property was converted into a family home. These works included a complete new interior, a new roof and windows.

"An orangery was added in 2006 and the gardens, driveway and patios were rebuilt. Whilst the house is noted as being of Townscape Merit, it isn't listed and therefore doesn't have any restrictions on internal or minor external changes."

Dexters added: "Located moments from the River Thames, Lensbury Club, Bushy Park, and the amenities of Teddington High Street, and within catchment of outstanding local schools, this is a rare chance to secure a grand period home in one of southwest London's most desirable neighbourhoods."
