School Lane, Stoke Row

Retaining an abundance of period character alongside carefully considered modern improvements, the property offers generous and versatile accommodation.
A tiled entrance porch provides a practical space for coats and boots before leading into the welcoming sitting room. This cosy room has a lovely sense of character, with wooden flooring, bespoke fitted bookshelves and a wood burning stove.
A striking exposed beam runs through the room and continues towards the first floor, complemented by a beautiful solid oak staircase. Solid oak cottage latched doors feature throughout the house, adding further warmth and character.
The impressive kitchen and dining area has been completely refurbished to create a wonderful space for both everyday living and entertaining.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of quality base units and integrated appliances, with two Velux windows bringing an abundance of natural light into the room.
A stylish slate tiled floor runs through the kitchen, with a small step down into the dining area creating a subtle distinction between the two spaces.
A stable door from the kitchen provides convenient access to the side and front of the property, including direct access to the driveway, making it particularly practical for bringing in shopping, bikes or garden equipment.
The dining area provides a lovely space for more formal meals or relaxed family gatherings, with bi-fold doors opening onto the recently landscaped garden. This creates a wonderful connection between the house and garden and draws in views towards the neighbouring woodland.
Upstairs, there are three well proportioned double bedrooms, all retaining the generous proportions and high ceilings typical of the period.
Large sash windows feature throughout the house, with some original and others sympathetically replaced, allowing the property to retain its Victorian character whilst benefiting from modern improvements.
The first floor family bathroom is beautifully presented and benefits from a Velux window, creating a light and airy space.
Outside, the private south-east facing garden has been recently landscaped to create a secluded and peaceful setting. A level lawn is bordered by established shrubs and attractive slatted fencing, with a discreet area providing space for storage sheds. To the front, gravel parking provides space for two cars.
Immaculately presented throughout, the house has been finished with a lovely eye for detail, retaining the charm and proportions of a Victorian home whilst providing the convenience and quality expected of modern living. Its peaceful position, private south east facing garden, woodland outlook and excellent village setting make this a particularly appealing home for those looking to enjoy village life within easy reach of nearby towns.
