For a discerning purchaser seeking a totally unique converted early Victorian school house. A wonderful opportunity to acquire a stylishly refurbished period Grade II property, offering extensive contemporary accommodation throughout the entire building.
This delightful period property has exciting 'eye catching' architectural elevations, utilising a plethora of quality building materials, whilst incorporating an excellent specification and a fastidious attention to detail. A truly remarkable conversion from a period former village school house, which has been seamlessly interwoven from the original building fabric into this modern contemporary family home, offering incredibly naturally light filled and versatile spacious accommodation throughout.
The early Victorian residence built circa 1836 offers exquisite exposed stone elevations, complemented by stunning Gothic style granite mullion double glazed windows to the front facade, under a pitched tiled roof, and warmed by an oil fired central heating system. The property is further warmed during the winter months by a log burning stove situated in the living room.
Upon entering the vestibule and reception hallway, doors lead off to the lovely spacious living room featuring the log burning stove, the well equipped kitchen/diner and dining area which is open plan with the impressive staircase area. Also on the ground floor is the sitting room which could be used, if required as bedroom 5, together with a rear hallway with doors leading off to the utility room, cloakroom and the family bathroom.
The impressive winding staircase ascends from the dining area to the galleried landing, where further doors lead off to four bedrooms (two with en suite facilities) and the second bathroom.
The property has been decorated throughout in a neutral colour wash, naturally creating an extremely light and airy ambience, together further enhanced by the stylish quality oak flooring which predominates over many parts of the accommodation. The home is further complemented by stylish internal Colonial style window shutters throughout the residence. Interestingly, in a bygone era, and many moons ago, the delightful old school bell still adorns the front facade, which used to ring and echo across the playground.
The home offers extensive private parking on the sweeping front tarmac driveway for multiple cars, including potential motorhome or boat trailer etc. A security gate opens from the front driveway, into the rear gardens which have been professionally landscaped into two separate areas. The first enclosed area has a lawn, and bordered by stone walls with timber fencing providing a high degree of privacy. The second enclosed rear garden area is of a low maintenance nature, providing a stylish resin deck interspersed with various planted borders. Outside water tap and external security lighting provided. Within the covered external walkway, there is a useful external store, ideal for gardening tools, equipment etc.
