A distinctive three-bedroom detached conversion set in Shepherdswell, this former village school offers generous living space (approximately 1,615 sq ft) and flexible layout suitable for family or multigenerational living. High ceilings, arched windows and Gothic Revival stonework give the house strong period character while a long plan kitchen and separate reception rooms deliver everyday practicality.
Outside there is a double garage, driveway parking and substantial front and rear gardens with a patio and useful powered store. The broad plot and room configuration create clear potential for an annexe or further reconfiguration, subject to any required planning and building regulation consents.
Practical points to note: the property is chain-free and heated by a mains-gas boiler with radiators, and double glazing is installed. The house was constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls (no known insulation) so buyers should consider potential upgrade costs for thermal performance. There is one main bathroom and a shower room, which may influence larger families.
Positioned in a quiet village setting, Shepherdswell has a primary school, local shops, pub and a mainline station; the A2 links to Canterbury and London with Dover town centre a short drive away. Interested buyers should verify services, planning history and dimensions with their solicitor before purchase.
