House to rent • 350 m² without real estateNeuenhöhe 85, , North Rhine-Westphalia

The OLD SCHOOL – two stories with an attic – is located on the B 51 at the eastern city exit of Wermelskirchen on a park-like property of approximately 2,500 m². The half-timbered house was built in 1830 as a school building, expanded to its current size in 1875, and is a listed property.

In 1988 it was purchased by the owner from the city of Wermelskirchen as a former school building with an adjacent outhouse (toilet building) and shed. Also in 1988, planning permission was obtained for conversion into 4 apartments (ranging in size from approximately 55 m² to around 100 m²). The building was completely restored and modernized between 1988 and 1990, two parcels of land (FST 745 – 747) were added in 1999, and between 1998 and 1999 a garage hall for the owner’s cars was constructed on the eastern edge of the property. In 2006 the OLD SCHOOL was once again adapted to the needs of a shared living community established there for people suffering from dementia.

The premises in the OLD SCHOOL could be newly rented out as of 01.05.2026.

Features of the converted OLD SCHOOL premises:

Walls, ceilings, and floors were installed according to the 1988 guidelines; electrical, sanitary installations, and heating were completely renewed between 1988 and 1990; thermal insulation according to WSVO 1988; old tiled roof with slate ridge tiles. Special features include: 5 bathrooms with shower and, in some cases, bathtubs adapted for people with disabilities, plus 2 additional guest WCs, studio glazing in the attic, parquet floors, a stairlift from the ground floor to the attic, partially basement, additional roof windows on the south side of the attic; further equipment details available upon inspection.

Outdoor areas:

Paths paved with natural greywacke stone, driveways finished with a mineral mix topped with fine gravel, a park-like arrangement to the north, a small copse to the west and east, a row of trees with a hedge along the street, the property is accessed directly from the B 51 via a gated entrance, and is completely enclosed by natural boundaries, partly integrated with chain-link fencing and bordered. Because of the school’s unique location in a park-like but enclosed setting, the building is particularly suitable for groups of people requiring special care.

The total area to be rented is approximately 350 m², with the ground floor areas WEST + EAST potentially accessible and usable separately. The ground floor west area had been used as a communal space with a large kitchen.

The property is especially well suited for shared living communities – it was even refurbished for this purpose in 2006.

To the west of the OLD SCHOOL, the listed toilet building (approximately 47 m² + basement) is currently being renovated and restored, and upon completion it can also be rented.

At the eastern exit of the town of Wermelskirchen,

the premises will be renovated again in some areas in coordination with the tenant.
