As the name suggests, The Old School originally served as the primary school for the village before it was closed in the 1980s.  Being of the Victorian era.  The Old School still possesses some wonderful original features including the detailed facing brick work, large windows providing plenty of light throughout the ground floor and a wonderful, open plan and multifunctional reception room, that we understand originally served as the classroom.   The Old School is attached to the original Teacher’s House, which is a separate independent dwelling, and whilst the accommodation within the school house is serviceable, the property does now warrant a program of renovation and refurbishment throughout. The Old School offers a very good amount of accommodation, extending to nearly 2,200 sq ft (200 sqm)  in all comprising an entrance hall, impressive, open plan multifunctional reception room, kitchen/breakfast room and boot/utility room with WC on the ground floor.  On the first floor there are five bedrooms; a principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, a guest bedroom with en-suite shower room, a further double bedroom, two single bedrooms (one of which is currently used as a study) and a bathroom. Outside there is a generous tarmac driveway.  There is also an area of garden to the front of the property, overlooking the village street, as well as a south-westerly facing courtyard at the rear that acts as a delightful sun trap.
