General Description
Dating back to 1789, this tastefully renovated former schoolhouse combines abundant natural light, elegant interior design, period details, and generous proportions to create an exceptional four-bedroom family home in a truly outstanding setting. The home welcomes you through an entrance vestibule with a guest WC, French doors then open into a spacious hallway. To your right, you'll find a bright and expansive living and reception area, currently utilised as a studio. With light streaming in from four multi-panelled sash windows and the hallway, this space feels both airy and inviting. Opposite, lies a modern and spacious kitchen, featuring oak-effect worktops, a tiled splashback, and under-cabinet lighting that highlights soft grey and natural-toned cabinetry. The kitchen is equipped with integrated appliances, including an enviable AGA, an eye-level grill and oven, and a central island offering additional workspace and seating. South-facing with doors leading to the rear garden, this kitchen serves as the heart of the home. Adjacent is a charming sitting room, decorated in soothing green tones. Featuring wooden flooring, working shutters, and a log-burning stove set within an oak fireplace, this space radiates an appealing rustic ambience. From here, you have access to a versatile utility room with rear access, as well as a well-appointed wet room finished in a traditional monochrome style, complete with dual rainfall showers, a WC, and a washbasin. Returning to the entrance hallway, you arrive at a spectacular living room nestled beneath and providing stair access to a glass-fronted mezzanine floor, creating a wonderful sense of openness. This light-filled space, illuminated by dual-aspect sash and case windows, boasts handsome original wooden flooring, wood panelling, and a cosy log-burning stove. Despite its generous size, the room exudes warmth, making it perfect for daily living and hosting gatherings with friends and family. Completing the ground floor layout, a second internal carpeted hallway, featuring a four-panel oak door, leads to a delightful double bedroom with a calming colour palette. From this hallway, you ascend a carpeted staircase adorned with an iron balustrade and oak banister, leading to three light and airy bedrooms (two double bedrooms and one single bedroom). Two showcase original fireplaces, while one includes a window seat. All three bedrooms share access to a family bathroom that combines modernity with period style.
