House For Sale £595,000
The Old School is a quintessential conversion retaining an abundance of its past.
Starting life in 1851 as a mixed national school and latterly extended in 1895. Today, The Old School is a characterful home.
From the moment you enter there are many references to its former past. The vaulted sitting room is a delight. The incredibly impressive, floor to ceiling window allows an abundance of natural light to flood in, whilst overlooking the neighbouring meadows, and the intricate carved vaulted ceiling provides immense character and warmth.
The sitting room also comes with its very own minstrels gallery.
The kitchen is well-appointed and adjoins the dining room. There are endless possibilities here, and combining the two rooms would create a wonderful open-plan space, ideal for entertaining.
Additional rooms include an entrance hall, utility room, shower room, and for those that work from home - an all important study.
Linking the old school to the generous 35ft workshop/garage is a large conservatory, erected by the current owners. This versatile space offers many uses and could be enhanced further.
The character and notions to the old school continue on the first floor, where you'll find three good-size bedrooms, the family bathroom, and the wonderful carved vaulted ceilings embracing the property's history.
Externally, the grounds have been meticulously planned and landscaped to create a wonderful cottage-style haven.
Meandering pathways, wisteria and rose arches, sweeping lawns, and a fine brick and flint boundary wall makes the perfect back drop. The borders are packed full of a variety of planting giving a fine show throughout the year.
