The property, which boasts 17ft high ceilings and some original architecture, was originally an infant classroom of the Victorian Hinguar School.
It was part of the first phase of the Hinguar School by Dale Knapping, who amassed a large fortune from the development of the brickworks in South Shoebury, serving the rapid growth of Southend in the middle of the 19th century.
It is understood that the red bricks are called “Shoebury bricks” which were more than likely sourced from Dale Knapping’s brick field.
The site has since undergone a stunning refurbishment to create a unique but modernised home.

By 1885, there were 370 children on the school roll, and a new school, the old building in Hinguar Street was constructed.
Initially the building was for the infant children, but in 1903 it was extended to provide a junior/senior block so that the whole school was on single site.
At the end of the school year – 2011 to 2012 – the children left from a building had stood for more than 100 years.
