Nestled in a picturesque village setting, this remarkable five - bedroom
detached old school originally constructed in 1854, has been meticulously
refurbished and extended by its current owner. The result is a deceptively
spacious and flexible living space that's sure to captivate those seeking a
comfortable and elegant abode.
Ground floor accommodation
Upon entry, you're greeted by an inviting open porch adorned with quarry - tiled
flooring and outdoor power points. The solid wood entrance door ushers you
into the open plan sitting room, a multi - purpose space enriched by a log
burner, two radiators, and a beautifully large double glazed window that
bathes the room in natural light. This window frames the original eye - catching
cast iron spiral staircase that gracefully ascends to the first floor while
remaining open to the inner hallway. Cleverly divided into seperate areas,
this large room can be used in a number of different ways. The entire space
boasts Karndean flooring, off which is a further hallway that leads to two of
the three ground floor bedrooms.
The master bedroom, on the ground floor, is generously proportioned and comes
with an en - suite for added convenience. It features wood laminate flooring and
French patio doors that open directly out onto the garden. The en - suite is
elegantly appointed, complete with a double - width fully tiled shower cubicle,
washbasin with cupboard storage, and a low flush w/c. Here, you'll also find
wood laminate flooring and a towel radiator. A second ground floor bedroom
offers Karndean flooring, a vanity washbasin with cupboard storage, and window
overlooking the wonderful outdoor entertaining space.
The kitchen and dining space are true standouts of this house. Fantastically
equipped with modern conveniences like an induction hob, electric double oven
and grill, integrated dishwasher, and ample storage space in the form of base
and eye - level units. It also offers a convenient breakfast bar, making it a
hub for culinary creativity. The dining room, with Indian sandstone flooring,
radiates a welcoming ambiance with French patio doors opening directly out to
the rear garden and outdoor entertaining area.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room, replete with storage cupboards,
plumbing for a washing machine, and space for a tumble dryer. Here, you'll
also find the pressurized hot water tank, heating controls, and a butler sink.
The ground floor bathroom is equally stylish, featuring an L - shaped bath with
a shower, a washbasin, and a low flush w/c. It flaunts Indian sandstone
flooring, two Upvc double glazed windows, an extractor fan, and a ladder towel
radiator.
A rear hallway leads to the guest bedroom, an ideal space for hosting
visitors, accommodating multi - generational living, or providing a teenager
with some independence. This room features a vaulted ceiling and an en - suite
with a shower cubicle, washbasin, and low flush w/c. The en - suite is adorned
with Indian sandstone flooring, a radiator, an Upvc double glazed window, and
an extractor fan.
First floor accommodation
Heading up the spiral staircase to the first floor, a mezzanine space welcomes
you with access to bedrooms four and five. Bedroom four offers built - in
wardrobes, Karndean flooring, and an abundance of natural light through large
Velux and double glazed windows. While bedroom five features built - in
wardrobes and a harmonious blend of design elements, it also boasts ample
storage space in the eaves. Both bedrooms are generous in size but have some
restricted headroom, adding a unique architectural character to the property.
Outdoor Living
The exterior of the property is equally enchanting. The front garden is
thoughtfully laid with shingle, enclosed by a picket fence, and offers gated
side access to the rear garden. An extensive shingle driveway provides ample
parking space for multiple cars. It's further adorned with flower and shrub
beds and borders and houses the property's eco - friendly air source heat pump.
For those with electric vehicles, an electric car charging point is also
available.
The rear garden is a sanctuary of greenery and tranquility, featuring a well -
manicured lawn, flourishing flower and shrub beds, and a large fish pond with
a soothing waterfall. Stone shingle seating areas, patios with pergolas, and
ambient lighting create a perfect environment for outdoor relaxation. An
outdoor bar with power and lighting makes this space ideal for entertaining.
The garden is fully enclosed by hedges and fencing, ensuring privacy and
security.
In conclusion, this extraordinary property successfully blends classic charm
with modern comforts, making it the perfect choice for those seeking a
spacious and elegant home in a coveted village location.
