A One Of A Kind Property! | 7,500sqft | 2 Acre Garden With Swimming Pool | 9 Bedrooms | 6 Bathrooms | 20 Car Driveway | Previously A Large School Which Has Been Converted Into A Unique Residential Property
Description
An incredibly unique property!
Blatch Fine Homes are pleased to present this impressive and imposing nine-bedroom, 6 Bathroom detached family home, which was formally known to the local residence as ‘arc’ school and has been thoughtfully and meticulously redesigned to create a fantastic family home.
Originally built in the 1950's as a main school, this property has been fully redesigned in 2016 by the current owners to create this delightful property.
‘The Old School’ spans to an incredible 7,500 square feet and sits on approximately 2 acres of land. This property has so many stunning and unique features which will truly take your breath away. The current owners have kept some of the building’s original features, such as cathedral windows, mezzanine floor and exposed wooden beams.
Ground Floor
The large, water featured courtyard, with tall and private shrubbery, leads you to the main front door and into the light and airy boot room, which has a large bay window and plenty of room to hang your coats and store your shoes.
To the right of the entrance, you have direct access to a one bedroomed, self-contained Annex, which would be an ideal space for older family members or teenage children seeking a private lifestyle.
The annex benefits from having its own separate entrance through a composite front door from the main driveway.
The annex has open views to the large garden and beautiful British countryside through a set of French doors, including a large bay window overlooking the driveway. The annex also comes with a luxury kitchen with quartz countertops, dark grey gloss cupboards both high and low level, including a built in American style fridge freezer. Throughout the annex it also has solid oak flooring, built in cupboards, a hidden bar behind a bookshelf, large bedroom with cathedral style window with build in wardrobes and a 3-piece en-suite with walk in shower, vanity sink and W.C. The annex also benefits from its own utility room for your white goods and having its own combination boiler.
To the left of the front entrance leads you into the main Dining room and kitchen area. The Kitchen can also be accessed via the back door which offers its very own entrance hall, downstairs W.C and utility room, which is perfect for your white good appliances and wooden counter tops.
The kitchen itself has been decorated to a very high standard, with farmhouse kitchen cabinets both high and low level with a cream tiled splash back, which includes a large central island with wooden counter tops and under cupboard storage. The kitchen has integrated appliances such as a dishwasher, double door cooker with 5 ring induction hob and an American style fridge freezer. The kitchen also benefits from triple aspect windows which allows an abundance of natural light to flood through the area, a large pantry for your additional tinned food goods and Amtico flooring which continues throughout the ground floor.
The dining room extends to an impressive 33 feet and has a large dining room table which comfortably seats up to 12 guests. This room is perfect for entertaining guests as you can continue to cook, but also continue the conversation as you have a large seating area to the rear of the room along with a television area. This room also benefits from a large wood burner with dark gray tiled backsplash, triple aspect windows, 4 large cast iron radiators, two large cupboards for storage and elegant light fittings throughout.
Continuing through the dining room, you enter a large hallway which leads you to an office with exposed brick wall, along with multiple power points. Through the office takes you to a downstairs family bathroom which is tiled from floor to ceiling and includes a walk-in shower, vanity sink and W.C. A further room adjacent to the family bathroom is currently used as a gymnasium which has a window overlooking the side garden.
The ground floor also has an additional living room which is truly stunning, with a large, exposed brick log burner, three large cast iron radiators, dual chandeliers, cathedral style window overlooking the front courtyard which allows an abundance of natural light, plus a mezzanine floor above which makes this room feel incredibly spacious and bright, along with a large chandelier.
Through the additional living room, you also have a large games room/man cave, which currently boasts a large pool table, air hockey, dance machines, dart board and seating area with dual aspect windows and multiple spotlights. This room is incredibly versatile which would be perfect for a gymnasium, playroom, or large office.
First Floor
The first floor has been extended and developed during the current owner’s time here, however further development is an option with some bedrooms and bathrooms still requiring updating and modernising.
This floor offers 8 substantial double bedrooms and multiple family bathrooms. Bedroom 1 is situated in the downstairs annex.
Bedroom 2 has triple aspect windows, exposed wooden beams, built in wardrobes and carpeted through.
Bedroom 3
From the mezzanine landing comes this stunning bedroom, with bifold wooden doors for privacy, a unique semi-circle shaped window, exposed wooden beams, large built-in wardrobe with spotlights throughout and a set of anthracite vertical radiators.
The Master bedroom (Bedroom 4) offers double aspect windows with a truly unique cathedral style window, exposed wooden beams with a set of chandeliers.
Bedroom 5 has built in wardrobes, exposed wooden beams and double set chandeliers along with a large window and two Velux windows offering ample natural light yet remaining very private.
Bedrooms 6,7,8 & 9 sit on their own wing of the property and offers the new owners the opportunity to create something truly spectacular. Having 2 large bathrooms which also require some modernisation.
The Grounds
Situated on approximately 2 acres of grounds and overlooking some rather incredible views of the beautiful British countryside.
You enter the property through large cast iron gates which leads you down the long graveled driveway, with large shrubbery to your left and large grounds to your right, which would be ideal for a playground or dog park.
Situated at the front of the property is a large and private courtyard with a water featured pond in the centre. The courtyard offers access to the property from the front and extends around the back and side of the property. The property also comes with a summer house and 'secret garden' which is ideal for BBQ entertainment and an outdoor swimming pool.
To the rear of the property is a large car parking facility suitable for multiple cars. There is potential business opportunity here, as the current owner uses this area to store and renovate cars.

Ansley is a large sought after village, with amenities including a parish church, public house, post office and store, playing field and playground. There is a primary school in Galley Common and secondary schools in Hartshill and Nuneaton, as well as Bablake and King Henry VIII in Coventry.
