The Schoolhouse restaurant first opened its doors in the 1920s as a local government vocational second level school.
It was purchased by the present owners and converted to restaurant with adjoining accommodation in the early 1970s and it has traded very successfully as a restaurant until recently and now specialises in accommodation.
Auctioneers REA Dawson said the sale presents an ideal opportunity to recreate a stylish restaurant with adjoining accommodation and ample scope for further development if desired.
