DESCRIPTION
The Old School House is a charming period semi-detached home, conveniently located just off the Bath Road in the desirable village of Froxfield. Steeped in history, the property was once the original village School House before being thoughtfully converted into a wonderful family home. The ground floor offers attractive and versatile accommodation, centered around a welcoming hallway with solid oak flooring. The generous sitting room features a characterful open fireplace, while the dining room provides ample storage and an ideal space for entertaining. The kitchen enjoys views over the pretty rear garden, creating a light and pleasant setting. In addition, there is a spacious family bathroom and a substantial third reception room, currently used as a home office, which could equally serve as an excellent fourth bedroom. Upstairs, the property offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms, with the main bedroom benefiting from an en-suite shower room. A further room provides flexibility as a third bedroom, nursery or dressing room.
OUTSIDE
The garden is generously proportioned and enjoys a high degree of privacy, being partly walled and fully enclosed. Predominantly laid to lawn, it is thoughtfully divided into two distinct areas, and well stocked with a variety of established shrubs, perennials, and mature trees, creating an attractive and tranquil outdoor space. There is a substantial brick and flint outbuilding in the garden, offering excellent potential for storage, a workshop, or further adaptation (subject to the necessary consents). Parking is currently available on-street.
