Only once in a while do properties such as this come to the market. This former school room offers very spacious accommodation ideal for families and with a level paddock to the side. The whole extends to about an acre and is ideal for a pony. There is tremendous potential to create an annex to the side of the house. This would be ideal for dependent relative or as an income.

As the name suggests, this well proportioned house was the former school classroom of Heanton School and after this, for a period of time, it was a corn store. The present owner has resided at the house for 24 happy years but the time has come to move on. The house has the benefit of double glazing, oil central heating a 1 ACRE PADDOCK.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a good size home which is ideal for a growing family. Furthermore, it offers tremendous potential to form an annex (sub any PP) to one side and this would be ideal either for a dependent relative or to let out for a regular income stream. Therefore, we recommend a full viewing to fully appreciate the size and potential. The house is of attractive stone construction with Marland brick quoins under a tiled roof with crested ridge tiles.

The rooms flow nicely with an entrance porch and good size hall. There is an ' L' shaped living room and a good size kitchen/ Breakfast room with some built in appliances and a tiled floor. A lobby connects these two rooms and also to the rear utility room and cloakroom. From here there is access to a 2nd utility/ kitchenette. and it is from this side of the house which could be made in the annex. This then leads to the dining room which then leads to the attached former garage. This is very useful space and ideal for storage or housing dogs. To the first floor is a landing which looks right down the garden and paddock. There are 4 bedrooms, 2 with built in wardrobes and 2 shower rooms.

The house stands on a large level plot with lawns and shrubs to the front. To the rear is a small yard area. There is off road parking to the front with an attached large garage which could form part of an annex. There is a drive to the front over which the farmer who owns the adjoining land, has access but rarely exercises this right. Beyond this drive is the ACRE PADDOCK. This is laid to grass and stretches to a point. There is a modern detached metal shed for implements, storage and ride on mower. The paddock is ideal for a pony. There is just a small courtyard area to the rear
