Set on a prominent Victorian façade, this four-bedroom Old School House combines historic character with generous, flexible living spaces for family life. The open-plan living-dining-kitchen flows onto an elevated sun terrace that delivers the best views in the village — ideal for morning coffee or alfresco evenings. A lower-ground room configured as a cinema/home office/games room opens to the garden, giving separate space for work and play.
Accommodation is spread across four floors, with a principal bedroom featuring dual-aspect windows and an ensuite, two further doubles and a smaller fourth bedroom on the top floor beneath large Velux windows. The fitted kitchen includes a full suite of integrated appliances and plentiful storage. Modern comforts include mains gas central heating, double glazing and an EV charging point to the front double parking bay.
Practical considerations are straightforward and clear: the house dates from 1855 and retains stone walls and period character, which buyers should note may mean limited wall insulation unless upgraded. Broadband is average for the area and the layout’s multiple floors involve frequent stairs — worth considering for mobility needs. The property is freehold and offered chain-free, making occupancy or onward plans flexible.
In short, this is a well-presented family home that pairs a dramatic rural outlook with versatile living areas. It will suit buyers seeking space, countryside views and a mix of historic charm and modern utility, while accepting the maintenance and improvement potential typical of a Victorian property.
