House For Sale £875,000
Schools Out... And a renovated charming period home is definitely in! Situated in the village of Great Billington this large 3,155sq.ft, renovated old school house dates back to 1850 and now offers executive period living with generous sized rooms, a wrap around plot and a self contained annexe.
The village of Great Billington is a quiet yet community driven location with superb links into the market town of Leighton Buzzard. The train station is just a 10 minute drive away with options from both Cheddington and Leighton Buzzard direct into London Euston. There's great bus links and you'll wake every morning to spectacular views over the countryside.
Large electric gates shield the property at the front and open to reveal a large block paved driveway with detached double garage which also has a mechanics pit in the floor. As the gates shut it's a few steps up to the large character entrance door. Seperate to the house the original double garage has been converted to a modern, self contained, 1 bedroom annexe. This has a shower room and kitchenette area.
The downstairs of the main house offers 4 reception rooms in addition to a kitchen breakfast room and utility room. The largest reception room is the main living room which used to be the main classroom of the school. The living room can be reached directly from the entrance hallway or to the rear connecting to the dining room. The living room has a large wood burning stove set around a period feature fireplace. Dual aspect windows make the room light and french doors lead out to a large rooftop balcony with views out across the countryside.
The formal dining room is also at the front of the house and again has two large windows on two aspects, this is a beautiful room to entertain and dine with guests. Another stone built original fireplace is set to one corner of the room.
On route to the kitchen is a separate Utility Room with sink and WC.
The kitchen breakfast room is a great place for casual dining, with space for a small dining table and also the sit around breakfast bar, this is likely to to be the hub of the house. You can step out to the patio area of the garden from here to sit and eat al-fresco if you wish.
Finally downstairs there are two more reception rooms, one which is used as a study. This fantastic room is one of our favourites with its exposed brick walls all around and original fireplace to the corner. Again access to the garden is available from the room also. The final reception room to the side has a working open fireplace and views to the garden. This would make a great playroom/6 Bedroom.
Upstairs there are 4 large double bedrooms that all connect off a winding landing where the character of this property really continues. The master bedroom has extra space for a dressing area and walk in wardrobe as well as an ensuite shower room. The second bedroom has access to the jack and jill bathroom accessible as an ensuite or family bathroom off the landing. Bedroom 3 also comes with an ensuite and has a fabulous triangular character window to the side as well as large walk in wardrobe.
There's plenty of outside space around this property. To the rear is a private courtyard seating area which leads down via some steps to the main gardens. The large lawned area is a fabulous place to play offering enough space for a small football match!
