Property Description
Constructed in 1887 by the famous Potts family, the Franklin Public School served the community until 1970. According to the West Nantmeal Township Historic Commission, all eight grades met in the main level and the school was cited as having the largest rural school library in Chester County. The Wyebrook Grange, #1307 used the upper level from 1906 until 1927. When no longer used as a school, the building served as the home of the Wyebrook Missionary Baptist Church until their new church was completed. In 1970, the building was sold as a private residence. Solidly constructed of fieldstone and magnificently designed, the school still boasts much of the original school features such as the chalkboards hanging on some walls and the coat hooks in the cloakroom. The main level is a very large, open space with lots of south-facing windows and served as the living area for the owners, complete with a Kitchen and a full Bathroom. Upstairs is a similar size room with plenty of windows and this area served the owners as a great spot to entertain. Both floors have ten-foot ceilings. The building is in need of updating but the structure has solid bones with a newer cedar roof, copper gutters, a newer furnace, air conditioning, and an upgraded electric service. The property also enjoys low taxes. Set on a 1.6-acre lot in a fabulous bucolic part of the township, this property is certainly worth the investment and perfect for someone seeking a unique, historic residence that is not located in a cookie-cutter development.
