"This is an attractive house with great character, having the unique architecture which comes with its former life as a school. The building dates back to 1871 and has all the charm and historic features of a typical country cottage, but with light, airy rooms and plenty of space. Since moving in, we have adapted the house to better suit our own lifestyle, opening up and extending the living accommodation."
