Old School House The Old School House, which as the name depicts, was a former school house built in c1847, which was converted to a residential house in 1936. In 2006 the property was sympathetically extended and modernised to provide what is now an excellent blend of period features, including high ceilings, lattice windows and a beautiful gabled entrance porch with modern living space. The ground floor features an impressive sitting room with fireplace fitted with wood burner and adjoining garden room. There is a fantastic lifestyle kitchen, with both dining and sitting space. On the first floor, there is a magnificent landing with evidence of the oak framing. In total there are four bedrooms, two of which are en suite and a family bathroom. Outside, the gardens surround the property and are very private and secluded, comprising an area of formal lawn, block paved terracing and beds planted with an array of specimen herbaceous plants, shrubs and spring flowering bulbs. Adjacent to the house is a double garage with parking. In conclusion, the Old School House is a unique period property, situated in a quiet yet convenient rural setting.
