A superbly renovated Eighteenth Century village house, offering spacious and beautifully appointed interiors with five bedrooms, set in over 0.4 acres, together with ample parking & oak framed garage and carport.
The Old School House is a characterful period property which has been comprehensively renovated and extended in recent years, resulting in a house of considerable style and charm, all set within a wonderful plot of over 0.4 acres.
The light and airy accommodation is arranged over two floors and amounts to approximately 2,100sq.ft, with the benefit of central heating and double-glazed sash windows throughout. The whole house has been tastefully decorated in a neutral palette, complemented by oak flooring, solid oak internal doors, exposed beams and several fireplaces, resulting in a high-end finish. Of particular note is a fabulous, 26ft drawing room with oak frame and huge log burner, and also a superb kitchen with stylish, joiner-built cabinetry and an electric AGA. In brief the accomodation comprises dining hall, guest cloakroom, drawing room, dining room, breakfast kitchen, utility room, first floor landing, master bedroom with en-suite shower room, four further bedrooms and a house bathroom.
The property is approached via a gated and gravelled driveway, where there is ample space to park, and leads to a recently constructed, oak-framed garage and carport with lean-to log store. The gardens are extensive and lie to the front, side and rear. They are mostly laid to lawn, interspersed by a wide variety of fruit trees and a large magnolia. A cottage garden has been created at the side of the house, with climbing roses, shrub borders and gravelled seating area, screened by a timber trellis.
