The Old Hall, Barthol Chapel is a bespoke detached former village school that later became the community hall for the community before becoming the wonderful family home it is today. Dating back to around c1800 the property benefits from a peaceful location within the village. With an open view over the countryside and beyond to the rear this most secluded of homes is surrounded by well- stocked and mature garden grounds. As you would expect from a property of this style, there are endless unique features including the exterior with its mix of stone and timber cladding. There is a delightful country style dining kitchen, warm inglenook fireplace in the lounge, galleried landing on the upper floor and vaulted ceiling in the master bedroom all adding to the charm and character of The Old Hall.
Upon entering the property via the front porch, you will find the dining kitchen with a range of wall and base mounted units and direct access to a timber staircase to the upper level, a glazed door to the exterior and there is ample space for free standing furniture, allowing this to be the central hub of the home. To the right of the dining kitchen is the lounge with eye catching inglenook fireplace. Dual aspect windows and a large picture window framing a delightful view over the garden. To the left of the dining kitchen there are two bedrooms, one of which could be an ideal study if required. A bathroom serves both rooms. As you enter the annex part of the property, this self-contained space has a wealth of opportunities, including multi generation living. The library is a vast room with windows over the looing the garden and a large storage cupboard. To the rear there is an office, hallway, shower room and further room which is currently used as a music room by the owners. An exterior door off the music room allows the accommodation to be accessed independently of the main home.
Continuing to the upper level, there are two large double bedrooms overlooking the front and rear gardens, both benefit from fitted wardrobes and are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. The master bedroom with its striking vaulted ceiling, has beautiful open countryside views and features two large double storage wardrobes and a large ensuite with bath. Completing the upper floor is the gallery landing over the dining room and a large storage cupboard off the upper hallway. Parking is available at the side of the property on a gravel driveway. The remaining grounds surrounding the property have been laid to a cottage style garden with an abundance of flowers, fruit trees and shrubs providing a blanket of colour in summer and a haven for birds and bees, with raised beds at the rear providing a range of fruit, vegetables and herbs.
