Fine & Country proudly presents The Old School House, a historic property beautifully transformed into an exquisite family residence with elegant contemporary interiors. Accompanied by a one-bedroom detached annex, this desirable home enjoys enviable views over the quintessential village green of Bearsted.
Constructed in 1839 using a charming mellow red brick, this property holds a captivating history, as it once functioned as the village schoolhouse. In 1847, the schoolmaster's house was incorporated into the structure, and from 1975 to 2017, it proudly served as the village library. Notably, this property retains many of its original architectural features, with a magnificent Cupola crowning this historic landmark.
In recent times, the property has been meticulously renovated to create an impressive four-bedroom family home, seamlessly blending character with desirable modern comforts. The state-of-the-art kitchen/family room boasts a stunning beamed vaulted ceiling and bi-fold doors that open to a beautifully landscaped garden. The open plan dining room and living room also present with a beamed vaulted ceiling, creating a spacious area to entertain and relax with friends and family. A dedicated utility/boot room with cloakroom, compliment the kitchen perfectly, and with its own access door, it's perfect for post-walk muddy wellies or paws, while a separate room housing the boiler provides convenient storage space.
This elegant well-appointed home is configured over two floors, with three bedrooms on the ground floor being served by opulent en-suite facilities and a contemporary family bathroom. An attractive staircase leads to the principal suite on the first floor, a luxurious retreat with extensive fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite bath/shower room, featuring twin wash hand basins and a sumptuous Slipper bath.
Step Outside
The Old School House stands idyllically within attractive landscaped gardens on a plot of approximately 0.25 acres. Attractive stone paths and a large patio partitions the lush green lawns, with a mature Silver Birch tree at the centre providing an attractive focal point. A raised sun terrace to the rear of the garden offers an ideal spot for morning coffee, a glass of wine or al fresco dining.
Detached Annex
The detached annex is to be found within the rear garden with convenient private access, representing a remarkably versatility space, adaptable over time based upon requirement. Currently there is an area designated for a kitchen, a lounge/dining room complete with bi-fold doors opening to the garden, and a bedroom with en-suite facilities. This flexible space is perfect for extended family, or guests, but could be utilised as a home gym, bar, or cinema room. For those who wish to work from home this aspect of the property provides space for offices, or therapy rooms.
Location
The Old School House occupies a prominent position with an enviable view over Bearsted village green. The green hosts various events throughout the year, to include a monthly farmers market, cricket matches, a classic car show and a music festival. Enveloping the green there are two well-regarded gastro pubs, a restaurant, popular café, a renowned butchers/delicatessen, and some useful shops.
Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the 26 acres of the Woodland Trust nature reserve and the 450 acres of Mote Park, both within walking distance. Leeds Castle is also very close by, while those who enjoy leisure pursuits can take advantage of the two golf courses, and the tennis courts and bowls clubs that also serve the area.
