<b>Description </b>
Dating back to the 16th century, The Old School House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a prominent feature of the ever popular village of Acton Trussell. Previously two cottages and thought to have been the village Sunday school, the property offers versatile and flexible accommodation and has excellent opportunity to be extended, reconfigured and further developed to suit a variety of needs.
</br>
Entering via the original front door within the timber framed façade, the dining hall offers a spacious room with an abundance of character features including beams, original staircase and large inglenook fireplace. The dual aspect space is an ideal entertaining room which enjoys pleasant views down towards the centre of the village. A doorway leads through to the kitchen breakfast room which benefits from a range of fitted cabinetry. The kitchen area leads through to the breakfast area, off which is the utility which provides useful ancillary space. A door leads to a set of stairs to the cellar which provides substantial storage, whilst a further door leads to a porch area and in turn an external door to the gardens outside. A glazed door provides access to the large sitting room, again with an abundance of charm and character. An inglenook fireplace is the centre piece to the room which also enjoys dual aspect views of the gardens. A handy study is located to the rear of the sitting room, off which is also the guest WC.
</br>
Rising from the dining hall, a turned staircase leads to a large landing area which provides access to the bedroom accommodation. There are four double bedrooms, with the master being a particularly good size with a pleasant dual aspect. There is a recently refitted shower room, whilst the contemporary family bathroom is also accessed off the landing area.
</br>
The property offers further scope for development, with the detached garage having planning permission for conversion and extension into a one bedroom annex which could offer additional living accommodation if required (South Staffordshire Council ref 19/00579/ful).
</br>
<b>Outside </b>
A large driveway provides parking for a number of vehicles and offers access to the detached double garage. A pathway leads to both the front and side doors, and to the extensive patio area which benefits from access into the study via a set of double doors. Located to the rear of the garage is an open fronted wooden chalet which provides excellent space for outdoor entertaining. The house is centrally located within the plot, with the majority being laid to lawn interspersed with mature trees, herbaceous borders and shrubbed beds.
