Set in about 2.7 acres of mature, private grounds, The Old School House blends original 19th‑century charm with high‑quality modern refurbishment. The former school has five bedrooms, four bathrooms and four reception rooms together with a superior two‑storey annexe, offering flexible accommodation for family life, home working or multi‑generational use. The well‑appointed kitchen/breakfast room, steam room and outdoor wood‑fired sauna add a striking contemporary touch.
The plot feels secluded and wooded rather than offering long-distance vistas, with extensive parking, a double garage/coach house and electric gates giving excellent privacy and kerb appeal. Practical details: oil‑fired boiler and radiators, double glazing, solar panels present, average broadband and no mobile signal at the property. Council tax is above average.
The house was sympathetically restored and is presented in excellent outward condition; many original features have been retained alongside modern fittings. There is scope for modest internal reconfiguration or extension subject to planning, making this attractive to buyers who want a character home with potential to personalise.
Notable considerations: the building is solid brick and likely lacks modern cavity insulation, heating relies on oil (not a mains gas supply), and mobile coverage is effectively none. These are practical points for long‑term running costs and connectivity that prospective buyers should factor into viewing and budgeting.
