Exceptional property: Old municipal school in Pollinkhove with headmaster's residence, 3 flats and studio – no renovation required Pollinkhovestraat 37-39, 8647 Pollinkhove

—Ref. 4261869

This exceptional historic investment property is located in the quiet village of Pollinkhove, in the former municipal school dating from around 1868. The stately headmaster's residence, designed by provincial architect Pierre Buyck, has impressively retained its neoclassical appearance and authentic character. The rear teaching wing, which once housed three classrooms of the village primary school, was renovated in the late 1990s and converted into three comfortable flats and a studio, making the whole property a particularly attractive investment.

The headmaster's residence on the street side immediately impresses with its high ceilings, elegant proportions and the beautiful authentic staircase in the entrance hall. The renovations in the 1990s, including the window frames, were carried out with respect for the historical value of the monument. Inside, there are five bedrooms spread over two floors. On the first floor are three spacious rooms and a bathroom, while the top floor offers two additional bedrooms — each with its own character — complemented by two separate shower rooms. The wooden floor on the mezzanine floor enhances the warmth and class of the property. With a separate side entrance and a garage, this listed property enjoys a high degree of privacy. It is let to reliable, long-term tenants, contributing significantly to its stable return.

Behind this house lies the former teaching wing, which could be used and furnished entirely freely and has since been converted into three attractive flats and a studio. The former classrooms – rebuilt in 1922 after the First World War – feature high ceilings, large windows and open spaces, giving the flats a distinct loft feel that is greatly appreciated by the tenants. The first flat combines a ground-floor bedroom with a charming bedroom on the mezzanine floor and features a functional kitchen, a bathroom, a separate toilet and a laundry room.

The second flat exudes the same openness. It has two bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a bright and spacious living room, a bathroom and a toilet.

At the very top of the teaching wing is a strikingly spacious and very attractive penthouse apartment with two bedrooms, a dressing room, an open-plan living area with integrated kitchen, a bathroom, a laundry room and a multipurpose room that can be used flexibly.
Two of these three flats are currently rented to loyal, careful tenants, while one has recently become vacant — an important asset for those who want to optimise or determine for themselves how the space will be used in the future.

The former covered playground, at the rear right of the property, has been converted into a practical storage area with separate storage rooms for each entity, while retaining the authentic school pillars.

At the very back, the plot offers ample parking facilities, which is a particularly valuable asset in this rural setting. The meadow behind the property, with its beautiful, unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside, offers additional opportunities for relaxation or outdoor activities.

Despite Pollinkhove's rural location, all amenities are surprisingly close by. In Lo-Reninge, just a five-minute drive away, there is a bakery, butcher's shop and restaurants. For larger shops, supermarkets and urban facilities, Veurne is only a fifteen-minute drive away. This combination of tranquillity, historical charm and accessibility results in a particularly attractive residential and investment location.

For investors looking for stability, authenticity and growth potential, this investment property is an exceptional opportunity, with no renovation required due to its protected status. This monument combines a rich history with solid rental income. A stable investment with character, potential and sustainable prospects.
