What was once a school which first opened its doors to pupils in 1848 is now a five-bedroom, three-bathroom detached house in the town of Llandysul, Ceredigion. 

Yr Hen Ysgol is on sale for offers in excess of £695,000 and is marketed by Fine & Country, West Wales, Aberystwyth, via OnTheMarket.

Bursting with characterful features, this Grade II listed property is laced with charm and traditional touches throughout making it a highly desirable abode. For example, the bright dining/reception room benefits from high ceilings as well as a striking feature fireplace and original pine wood and glass screen divider which leads to the large kitchen.

Here, the school windows framed by custom-built shutters welcome plenty of light which bounces off the worktops made from reclaimed slate. Yet more charming details and texture are introduced through the stone wall which surrounds the two-oven Aga, and a staircase which leads to the mezzanine floor allows for views of the countryside to be enjoyed.

In addition to the main accommodation of the home, an additional two-storey annex forms part of the property and is currently utilised as an office providing a perfect working-from-home setting.
