School is out for Easter!

School is out for Easter!

Schools around the country are closing their doors today ahead of the Easter mid-term, with parents having to find distractions for their children over the next fortnight as a result.

While both students and teachers alike love the break from school, there’s no doubting the place they have in our local communities.

Some schools might have shut over the years but many have been restored into wonderful homes.

With that in mind, MyHome has decided to put together a list of five of the best former schoolhouses currently on the market.
