Tucked in the picturesque village of Chedington, School House is a detached period property with strong historic character and a large private garden. The stone-built cottage retains Gothic arched mullioned windows, exposed beams and other original features that will appeal to buyers wanting a sympathetic restoration.
The house requires a complete programme of refurbishment: there is currently no working heating, the fabric likely lacks modern insulation, and the interior needs full modernisation. It will be offered at auction (guide price £240,000) and is sold freehold, as seen, with some chattels to be cleared by the purchaser — buyers should allow for auction fees and possible post-auction negotiations.
This is best suited to an investor, developer or experienced owner-occupier who values character and has the budget and time for substantial work. Planning and careful restoration could reveal a striking country home in a very low-crime, tranquil village setting close to local schools and rural amenities.
