Old School House is a substantial mid-19th century detached home set in a large mature plot on Gloucester Road, Upleadon. Dating from 1851, the property retains pronounced period character — exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and large reception spaces — that will appeal to buyers seeking charm and scope for personalization. The gardens wrap around the house and provide privacy, countryside outlooks and off-street parking via a private block-paved driveway.
Internally the layout delivers flexible family accommodation across multiple levels: a generous family room, separate dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, five bedrooms and two bathrooms. Room proportions are noticeably generous, making the house well suited to growing families or those wanting extra reception and hobby space. Double glazing was fitted after 2002 and walls have internal insulation, which helps with comfort.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. Heating is provided by an LPG boiler with radiators; mains drainage is available. The property sits in an affluent, low-crime rural hamlet with fast broadband but average mobile signal. Council tax is high (Forest of Dean band F), and the house — while solid and characterful — will suit buyers prepared for ongoing maintenance and selective upgrading rather than those expecting a turn-key modern finish.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a former village school with immediate curb appeal, significant internal space and a large garden in a peaceful countryside setting. Buyers who value character and who are comfortable managing rural running costs will find clear potential here.
