House For Sale £400,000
An attractive character property with a wealth of period features set in the heart of the original part of the peaceful village of Ambrosden, close to local amenities. With three bedrooms, sitting room and separate dining room both with working fireplaces, generous driveway parking.
In a secluded position set back from the road, The Old School House dates back to 1876 and was originally used as the headmasters home next to the adjoining school, now used as the local village hall.
The property is approached from a gravelled driveway which can accommodate several cars. Follow the path towards the house past a tucked away lawn area, and enter the property via a wonderful original Victorian door into a spacious hallway. The sitting room at the front of the property is a comfortable space with its original fireplace in the corner of the room and high ceilings with picture rails. This overlooks the sunny south-facing lawn area where the mature tree provides a real sense of privacy. The ground floor bathroom is to your left, then the dining room to the rear, also with a feature fireplace. Next door is the kitchen overlooking the rear courtyard garden.
Upstairs there are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, the master with feature fireplace. The high ceilings really add to the sense of space throughout. There is also a useful w/c.
To the rear of the property the courtyard garden area is completely private and not overlooked at all. There are a range of outbuildings including a brick-built old washhouse and privy, now used for storage but could ideally be used as a workshop, a timber building housing a Finnish sauna, and a further timber shed.
