The Property - Centrally located in the village and within the Conservation Area, this former Victorian School dates from 1872. It was converted to a home in 1985 and considerable improvements have been made since. In keeping with the building, a lovely oak herringbone floor has been laid throughout the groundfloor and first floor landing. The property is tardis like, offering excellent living accommodation, which, from the front facade, is deceptively spacious. A particular feature is the dual aspect sitting room, which has a 4.25m, almost 14 feet vaulted ceiling, with a lovely old beam on stone plinths. The mature garden enjoys sunshine throughout the day, with several seating areas for those wishing to dine al fresco. There is space for an insulated home office if required and there is already highspeed fibre to the house, with up to 900 Mbps available. The house has stone mullion windows to the front and rear with UPVC double glazed UPVC windows fitted throughout.
The Accommodation - The arched front door leads into a vaulted lobby with a further arched door into the hallway. This has the stairs off with storage space under, a storage cupboard and the cloakroom. Straight ahead is the dining room and to the left, a wide original door leads into the dual aspect vaulted sitting room. This has a corner log burner with oak shelf over and double doors into the garden. The other side of the dining room is the dual aspect study with vaulted ceiling, large enough to provide an optional 4th bedroom if required. A door has been added providing internal access to the garage. Off the hall is the dual aspect and newly equipped kitchen/breakfast room. A fabulous range of plum coloured units have been fitted, together with white granite worksurfaces. There is a shelved pantry, intergrated fridge, washer/drier, built-in electric oven, microwave/combi oven and ceramic hob. Clever use of space has been made with fitted settle seating, providing additional storage. On the bright first floor landing there is an airing cupboard with the hot water cylinder. An access hatch with ladder leads to a large loft storage space. The main bedroom has an attractive ornate mullion window and is light and airy, with walk-in wardrobe and fitted wardrobes to one wall. There are two further bedrooms, the larger being dual aspect, again with an ornate mullion. The refitted bathroom is in a period style with roll top bath, separate shower, vanity basin and half panelled walls.
Outside - The house is approached over a shared tarmac drive with a yew hedge to the left. It leads to a garage with power and light, and a potential workshop at the rear. There is parking in front of the garage for two cars. A lovely tall wrought iron gate leads through to the garden. A paved path leads past the boiler house to a patio adjoining the sitting room. The garden is arranged in two sections, laid mainly to lawn, with a water feature, pond and well stocked borders. There is a mellow brick wall with pergola over, a productive apple tree and, at the far end of the garden, are raised vegetable beds and a good size wooden shed.
