- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 5 sales are recorded for The Old School House. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

The latest one for The Old School House was lodged in June 2010 at band F and expired in June 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let.
