[3] It was used as a girls' boarding school from the 1920s until 1979. [4] Overstone Hall became derelict after being destroyed in a fire in April 2001. [5] Part of the building unaffected by the fire was used for retirement flats from 2008 to 2014. In March 2023, another suspected arson reportedly occurred.
