A spectacular conversion of a Grade II Listed former school, set within a large plot of approximately 0.3 acres adjoining open fields and offering very spacious four-bedroom accommodation of almost 2,800sq.ft in a sought-after conservation village.
This especially attractive and Grade II Listed building, once a former school and now a unique home offering spacious and highly versatile accommodation within a good-sized plot with open views across open fields to the rear. Within the last 8 years, the house has been subject to extensive renovations, in addition to re-modelling the top floor to create a spectacular master bedroom suite. Character features are in evidence throughout and serve as a reminder of this landmark property’s former use.
The accommodation, which amounts to almost 2,800sq.ft, is arranged over three floors and briefly comprises reception hall, guest cloakroom, a dramatic, double height drawing room with log burner, study, a well-planned kitchen and pantry with cabinetry by the Handmade Kitchen Company, opening onto a dining/family room, utility room and ground floor bedroom with en-suite shower room. On the first floor, a galleried landing gives access to two more double bedrooms and an impressive house bathroom, whilst on the top floor is a master bedroom with shower room, plus additional loft storage spaces. There is oil-fired central heating throughout the house, and windows are double-glazed.
The property dates from 1869 and is constructed principally of hammered limestone beneath a slate roof, with later extensions at the rear. It enjoys a pleasant position at the heart of the village and has a strikingly handsome appearance, with tall, gothic style lancet windows to the three main elevations, and a steeply pitched roof. Its external appearance belies the huge amount of space within.
Externally there are attractive gardens on all sides of the property, extending to approximately 0.3 acres, with lawn, shrub borders, timber deck and several garden sheds. The back garden borders open fields, across which there are lovely views, and a gated driveway offers space to park several vehicles.
