Situation And Amenities - School House is situated within the heart of the much sought after and thriving village of Berrynarbor. Berrynarbor is small picturesque chocolate box village that offers a fantastic range of facilities including a community Post Office / general store, an excellent 13th Century village inn that serves evening food, Church and Village Hall, as well as a well-respected outstanding OFSTED rated primary school. This award-winning village has succeeded on several occasions in the regional and national categories, including 'Best Kept Village' and 'Britain in Bloom'. The popular North Devon coastal village of Combe Martin is about 1 ? miles, set at the bottom of the hilly coastline and has a sheltered beach along with a variety of shops catering for day-to-day needs. A little further afield, about 4 miles away is the town of Ilfracombe, with its quaint harbour and more extensive shopping facilities and amenities including supermarkets, schools for all ages, leisure centre, theatre and further beach at Watermouth. The surrounding countryside and coastline provide excellent recreational facilities, with lovely wide-open beaches in the Woolacombe area, about 25 minutes by car. The Exmoor National Park is also easily accessible and provides endless bridleways and footpaths for those who wish to ride or walk and appreciate the dramatic rugged countryside. Barnstaple town is about 11 miles, or 20/25 minutes by car, and as North Devon's regional centre, houses the area's main business, commercial, leisure and shopping venues. At Barnstaple, there is access to the North Devon Link Road, leading through to Junction 27 of the M5, part of the National Motorway Network, whilst Barnstaple Railhead provides a link to the National Railway System .

Description - School House is one of the most impressive and unique period character homes in Berrynarbor, situated in the heart of the village with extensive gardens, parking and delightful views of the countryside and woodland hillside in the distance. Understood to date back to the mid 1850's this former school house as the name suggests was formally the Sunday school for the attached former chapel which were both converted into characterful residential dwellings just over twenty years ago.
The property offers spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors with arched double glazed windows and doors allowing light to flood in. The accommodation is open plan contemporary in style with a plethora of period features and would make a perfect main home, holiday home or lucrative holiday let. The accommodation, with approximate dimensions, is identified on the accompanying floorplan but comprises in brief in the below:

Accommodation - Entrance door leads into an open plan, vaulted ceiling galleried hallway with sweeping open tread steel and oak staircase leading to the first floor and beautiful arched window to the front allowing light to flood in. Stripped wooden Victorian deck style floorboards run through the ground floor with an interesting curved wall that divides the living area from the kitchen. A formal dining area leads into the sitting room which has a door that leads to the rear sun terrace. The kitchen comprises of a modern shaker style kitchen with units cleverly built to fit the curvature of the dividing wall. There is a stainless steel sink, gas hob, electric oven and space and plumbing for dishwasher and fridge/freezer. From the kitchen there is a breakfast area with a ceiling to floor window looking out onto the garden. Also from the kitchen is a useful utility room with floor units and space and plumbing for washing machine, tumble dryer and a door that leads to a boiler cupboard which doubles as useful storage space and has the potential to be converted into a downstairs WC.
From the first floor landing doors lead into the family bathroom with vaulted ceiling and skylight window, character arched recesses, bath with mains shower, WC and sink. The main bedroom also has a stunning vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, skylight and a featured arched window to the rear. From this bedroom there is a private en-suite showroom with WC, shower cubicle and sink. Also from the upstairs landing there are three further double bedrooms.

Outside - Outside there is a walled block paved low maintenance front garden to the front with a pathway leading to the side of the property and to the block paved allocated two parking spaces to the front of the School. To the side of the property there is an additional large stone chipping private parking area enough space for multiple vehicles, motorhome or boat. We understand from the owner that there could be possibilities to build a garage and workshop within this area and planning permission had been formally granted but since lapsed.
To the rear of the property there is an extensive West facing lawned garden enclosed by picket fencing and privet hedgerow. There is raised terrace to the rear of the property which enjoys fantastic views towards the surrounding countryside and wooded hillside in the distance.
