Village
The Old School House is a handsome village house found on the outskirts of Yockleton, only a short distance from the county town of Shrewsbury. The property has an excellent range of accommodation over two floors and has provided a wonderful family home for the current owners. Converted to a thoughtful design, The Old School House retains some fantastic traditional features.
The kitchen breakfast room is beautifully appointed with a range of fitted units and integrated appliances. Across the hallway is a useful utility room and a space for coats and boots. The generous sitting room has a log burning stove and French doors out to a lovely, flagged seating area. A set of double doors lead into the more formal dining room. A snug/home office is found beyond a second bright and airy inner hallway; this room has views over the rear gardens. A WC completes the ground floor accommodation.
The principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom and lovely views toward the village church. A guest bedroom is found at the opposite end of the property with views over the front gardens and open countryside beyond; this room also has an en suite bathroom. There are two further bedrooms, both with high pitched ceilings and feature beams, along with a family bathroom.
Gardens, grounds, and outbuildings
The Old School House has a large tarmacadam driveway with parking for a number of vehicles. A double detached garage stands away from the property on the Northern boundary, with a useful attached garden store and shed.
There are wonderful seating areas on three sides of The Old School House, providing private spaces for al fresco dining. There is a generous flat lawn to the rear bordered by panel fencing.
