The Property
Dating back to the 1840s, Clive House is the former schoolmaster’s house and village school, now transformed into an attractive semi-detached property of character. Located at the heart of the village, within easy reach of independent shops and local amenities, it offers generous, adaptable living space along with a walled garden, courtyard and private parking.

The main reception hall gives access to the drawing room, once the principal classroom, which now provides an impressive reception space with a striking double-height ceiling and French doors opening to the west-facing terrace and gardens. The adjoining family room is a bright and welcoming space, with three windows and further French doors leading directly to the terrace and gardens.

Steps rise from the family room to the breakfasting kitchen, designed and fitted by Mowlem with maple cabinetry and complementary granite work surfaces incorporating a Franke sink with monobloc tap and water filter. The kitchen is well-appointed with a range of integrated Miele appliances, a Mercury range cooker, combination microwave oven, American fridge freezer with ice maker, and a central island with additional storage. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room is a particularly attractive, light-filled space with impressive wooden flooring, ideally suited for both family gatherings and formal entertaining.

The study, set to the rear of the house, includes fitted bookshelves and its own heating controls, creating a self-contained environment perfectly suited to home working. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom finished with a Villeroy & Boch wash-hand basin and WC, Amtico flooring and a useful storage cupboard.

A handmade oak staircase rises to the galleried landing, naturally lit by a tall side window and providing access to the loft. The principal bedroom includes a dressing area with bespoke Mowlem wardrobes, a fitted window seat and access to a useful boarded attic store with drop-down ladder. Its en-suite is finished to a high standard with a Jacuzzi bath set in a marble surround, double vanity units with marble tops, WC, and a double Grohe shower unit, complemented by mosaic tiled flooring with underfloor heating and bespoke maple cabinetry.

The guest bedroom, with south-facing views over the courtyard, also benefits from an en-suite shower room with a white suite. Three further double bedrooms each offer individual character, including one with a period fireplace, one with fitted wardrobes, and another with an exposed stone feature wall and high ceilings. A family bathroom and additional shower room, both with modern suites, complete the first-floor accommodation.

Externally
To the rear is a generous single garage with space for a car and additional storage, together with private parking. A gate leads into the paved courtyard, designed with raised stone borders and discreet bin storage. The principal gardens extend west of the house and are enclosed by traditional stone walling, with a pedestrian gate providing access into the village. A stone-flagged terrace rises to a raised patio area, while steps lead down to the main lawn, a sunny and sheltered space with well-stocked borders.

Two timber outbuildings provide useful flexibility, the larger being ideal for storing tools and equipment. The garden also features fruit trees, vegetable beds, an outdoor water supply and an automatic irrigation system serving the patio. Discreet exterior lighting enhances the setting, making the terraces and lawn a superb space for outdoor entertaining and summer dining.
