THE Old School House is an immaculately presented former school house and a credit to the current owners.
The charm of the property is evident immediately.
A picture postcard front aspect of picket fence, lawn, cobbled paths, roses and a traditional stone built house are a delightful welcome.
Off the gravel parking area is the arched oak front door opening to a spacious hall with original flagstones, off which is a cloakroom WC and useful study.
Continuing into the open plan kitchen/dining room, the full height vaulted ceilings provide drama whilst a modern kitchen of granite worktops, range cooker and various fitted units offer modern usability.
The space has lots of natural light from a full height window and the adjacent utility is a real bonus. An oak built mezzanine lends itself to dining or as studio.
Of particular note is the drawing room; the vaulted ceiling and enormous arched window create a huge amount of natural light, and in conjunction with the elegant dining room provides a wonderful entertaining space.
Continuing through the ground floor, and into what was once the schoolmasters house, is a downstairs bedroom served by a large and well-appointed bathroom room and separate WC.
Stairs rise to the first floor landing off which are three bedrooms of good size with the master bedroom containing built-in cupboards.
An additional family bathroom services this floor with low level WC, washbasin and bath.
Old School House can be approached via a large gravel driveway providing ample off-road parking and beautiful manicured gardens at the front of the property. To the rear, the beautifully landscaped gardens offer a lovely setting for alfresco dining and entertainment with a paved patio and sitting area and feature ponds.
There are various outbuildings providing plenty of storage including a wood shed.
The property is surrounded by a range of mature trees, shrubs and flowers providing a sense of seclusion and privacy whilst offering a beautiful outlook.
