Dating back to 1848 and designed by Augustus Pugin, this Grade II listed former schoolhouse has been extensively renovated and thermally upgraded, with all works carried out under full planning consent. The property retains a number of original features alongside modern improvements.
The ground floor comprises an entrance porch leading into a light and well-proportioned sitting room with a log-burning stove. This leads through to the kitchen and dining area, which has integrated appliances and a stable door. To the rear is a large conservatory overlooking the garden, together with a newly added utility room and an enlarged shower room with WC.
The first floor provides two double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom featuring original stone Gothic tracery windows and rooflights. Both bedrooms have useful eaves storage. The heating system has also been upgraded with a newly replaced boiler. A spacious family bathroom completes the accommodation.
The property has benefited from significant thermal improvements, including new Kingspan insulation beneath the ground floors and insulated plasterboard to the walls and rooflines.
Outside, the property is enclosed by traditional dry stone walls. A generous driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles, with a paved pathway leading to the arched front door.
The enclosed rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and includes a substantial detached timber outbuilding, suitable for use as a workshop or for storage.
