Grade II former school conversion with high ceilings and period character
Four bedrooms, three en suites — flexible layout, annexe/Airbnb potential
High-quality finish: granite kitchen, oak doors, sprinkler system
Decent plot with low-maintenance gravel entertaining areas and outbuildings
Listed status — alterations require Listed Building Consent, may be restrictive
Oil-fired heating with external oil tank — higher running costs likely
Slow broadband and average mobile signal — not ideal for heavy remote working
Council tax band above average; local area shows signs of deprivation
This Grade II former school has been sensitively converted into a striking four-bedroom family home, combining period character with a high-quality contemporary finish. High ceilings, large secondary-glazed windows and bright, airy rooms create an elegant living environment; the vaulted lounge with brick fireplace and the showpiece granite kitchen are stand-out spaces for family life and entertaining. The property totals about 1,464 sqft and sits on a decent plot at the edge of Llandrinio with pleasing rural outlooks and easy village access.
The layout is flexible and could suit multigenerational living or an income stream: the fourth bedroom is set apart with its own en suite and there’s scope for a small annexe or short-stay let subject to the constraints of Listed consent. Practical upgrades already in place include secondary glazing throughout, an internal sprinkler system, oak doors and quality fittings. The rear garden and gravelled entertaining area are low-maintenance and private, with useful outbuildings and oil tank storage.
Important considerations: listed status means alterations will require Listed Building Consent and may complicate renovations or extensions. Heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators and an external oil tank is present; this may be less economical and convenient than mains gas. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average — factors to weigh if working from home or relying on streaming. Council tax is in a higher band and the wider area shows indicators of local deprivation, though crime levels are very low.
Overall this is a distinctive, high-spec rural home that will suit buyers who value character, space and countryside living and who are comfortable with the responsibilities and restrictions of a Listed property. Its flexible accommodation and edge-of-village location also make it appealing to buyers considering a small annexe or holiday let, provided any change of use or alterations follow statutory permission.
