The Old Schoolhouse is a recently renovated Grade II listed stone home that blends strong period character with contemporary comforts. High ceilings, exposed beams, mullioned windows and an open-fire sitting room deliver atmosphere, while the kitchen/dining room, underfloor heating and modern bathrooms provide everyday ease. The property sits in a peaceful village with far-reaching countryside views and a carefully designed, mainly south-facing garden.
Set across the main house and a separate one-bedroom guest studio, the layout suits family life, multigenerational living or short-term letting. The studio has its own access, electric underfloor heating and space to add a small kitchenette, giving practical flexibility for guests or rental income. Parking for up to three cars and private off-street access add to the home’s convenience.
There are a few practical considerations buyers should note. The house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate repairs or extensions. Heating is oil-fired and the drainage is private sewerage; these are functional but may be less desirable than mains alternatives for some buyers. Council Tax is Band F and an EPC is not provided due to the listing. Prospective purchasers should seek survey and legal advice on listed-status implications and the private sewerage arrangements.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful family home in an affluent rural area close to Millfield School and local market towns. The recent, detailed renovation means the house is largely move-in ready, while the guest studio and large garden offer clear scope to tailor the property to growing family needs or to generate supplementary income.
