Summary - GOFFES SCHOOL HOUSE SAHAM TONEY THETFORD IP25 7HP
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Historic five-bedroom country home with huge private garden and generous living spaces.
Dating to 1612 with substantial 19th-century rebuilding and character features
Goffes School House is a striking former village school, converted and extended to provide generous, characterful family accommodation while retaining period features such as tall windows, high ceilings and original detailing. The heart of the home is a bright, sociable kitchen/family room with a large island and skylight, ideal for day-to-day family life and entertaining. A cosy sitting room with a fireplace and several flexible rooms suit home working, hobbies or children's play.
Set on a huge, private plot with mature planting and lawns, the house offers strong indoor–outdoor living for growing families. Five large bedrooms and three bathrooms give space and adaptability, while views over the garden enhance the calm, rural setting in Saham Toney. There is also a garage and gravel driveway providing ample parking.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the property is of solid brick construction with no installed cavity insulation (assumed), and the Energy Performance Certificate is rated D. Council tax is above average (Band E). While beautifully presented, the house may benefit from targeted energy-efficiency improvements and ongoing maintenance appropriate to a historic building.
This home will suit purchasers seeking a distinctive, rural family house offering character, space and village life. Its combination of substantial period charm and modern living areas creates a rare opportunity to own a converted early schoolhouse within easy reach of local amenities and larger market towns.
