The Old School House is a wonderfully distinctive detached home, retaining much of the character of its former use through decorative brickwork, diamond leaded windows, timber detailing and an impressive original style porch. Internally, the property is equally individual, with generous reception spaces, exposed timber floors, fireplaces and an impressive upper floor showcasing the original roof structure.

Arranged across three floors, the house offers four bedrooms, three reception rooms and a substantial glazed garden room, while outside the large wrap-around garden is complemented by a detached triple garage and separate annexe, providing excellent flexibility for extended family, guests or home working.

The Property

The character of the house is immediately apparent from the entrance porch, opening into a central hall with useful storage. The principal sitting room is particularly impressive in scale, with stripped timber flooring, panelled walls, leaded windows and a woodburning stove forming the focal point. A separate snug features further exposed brickwork, built-in shelving and another stove, while the dining room provides a further generous reception space.

The kitchen has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beam detail and is fitted with painted shaker cabinets, timber worktops and a central island with granite worktop and breakfast seating. Adjoining the kitchen is the substantial glazed conservatory/garden room, flooded with natural light beneath a pitched glazed roof and opening directly onto the garden. A cloakroom and separate ground floor shower room add further practicality.

On the first floor are three bedrooms, two of which are generous doubles, with the principal bedroom occupying a particularly spacious part of the house beneath an impressive exposed timber roof structure. A shower room serves this floor, acting either as an ensuite to bedroom 1 or shared. The second floor provides the fourth bedroom together with a separate bathroom, fitted with a freestanding clawfoot bath, plus useful storage.

Outside

The gardens wrap around the house and are predominantly laid to lawn, with mature trees, established boundaries and a decked seating area adjoining the house. A generous gravelled driveway provides ample parking and leads to the substantial detached triple garage.

A separate detached annexe sits within the grounds, providing an independent room with its own fitted kitchen, shower room and storage. Its position away from the main house gives it excellent potential for guests, extended family, home working or ancillary use.
