Positioned in the heart of Marshfield – a sought-after South Gloucestershire village with excellent amenities and convenient links to Bath, Bristol, and the southwest motorway network – this beautifully converted Grade II listed semi-detached schoolhouse occupies a prime location.

Originally built as a National School in 1861, the property has been thoughtfully transformed into a wonderful home with light-filled interiors across two floors. The ground floor features a spacious kitchen, a reception room, two bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a laundry room. Upstairs, there is a third bedroom with a mezzanine level, offering stunning rooftop and countryside views, along with a dedicated office space, which could also serve as a fourth bedroom. ‘Since moving here in 2008, I have modernised it for simple, low-maintenance living while ensuring it retains its period charm. The original front door, fireplace, and parquet flooring – which still bears the marks of gymnasium apparatus – are a constant reminder that this is a building with a great sense of history,’ says the owner. Set back from the road, this charming property is approached through a delightful front garden, leading to an impressive entrance. To the rear, fully enclosed gardens provide a high level of privacy. A key advantage is the private parking space and garage – an enviable feature in Marshfield, where on-street parking is the norm. The owner explains, ‘it’s one of the rare High Street properties offering both private parking and rear access, not to mention its elevated windows that ensure complete privacy. Once the door is closed behind you, it feels like being in a sanctuary.’

‘It’s a lovely, solid house with a safe and welcoming feel. It has plenty of space for family and friends, yet it doesn’t feel overwhelming when you’re alone. It truly is a home to enjoy.’

‘The kitchen, with its vaulted ceiling, is a standout space. Spacious and filled with light, it’s perfect for entertaining.’

‘The garden is wonderfully private, and being south-facing, it enjoys sunshine all day.’

‘Marshfield is a vibrant community with a shop open until 7 p.m. each day, a preschool and school, two pubs, a post office, a petrol station, and a garage for car maintenance.

‘One of the great advantages of living here is the quick and easy access to the M4.’

‘If you prefer to keep to yourself, the house lends itself to that. However, if you’re looking for a busy social life, Marshfield is an easy place to make friends.’
