Stylish Victorian school house with annex, situated in the highly desirable village of Willian
Description
Rich in character and history this exceptional property was formally the schoolmistress's residence and has been converted to a very high standard with a great level of attention to detail throughout. The modern decor has a traditional slant, incorporating country-inspired details such as a large Aga, original fireplaces and Victorian sash windows which were refurbished last year including adding draft excluders , re weighting / balancing. The house now offers a superb blend of period charm and versatile accommodation which is perfect for families, professionals and those seeking a unique home with real personality.
Upon entering,you are greeted by a welcoming hall way, and the original staircase that leads to the first floor. The heart of the home is the open plan kitchen dining area, and family room, which creates a seamless flow. The kitchen breakfast room is fitted with an extensive range of high gloss cabinets with integrated appliances, wine cooler, and Aga with ceramic hob, There is a large built in dining area with ample space for a growing family to sit down together and built in storage underneath, and further kitchen storage. There is a large sitting room with original open fireplace which is currently being used as a cinema room. Upstairs there is a main bedroom with dressing room and en suite bathroom, two further bedrooms and a family shower room.
Outside is a true highlight, the patio area wraps around the back of the property, there is an outdoor kitchen bbq area and sunken garden with seating, which is a perfect spot for summer afternoons and al fresco dining.
The L shaped outbuilding / annex has been converted into a fantastic useable space, either for work, gym or accommodation.
The property is approached over a gated gravel driveway, offers off-street parking for a number of cars.
Location
Situated on the fringes of Willian village. The property is within easy reach of the A1(M) ( Junction 9 ) Communications are excellent. The mainline station is within easy reach providing fast and frequent trains serving London Kings Cross. Luton Airport is some 13 miles, Stansted Airport approximately 34 miles and London about 40, M25 (junction 23), about 25 miles.
Willian village remains peaceful and unspoilt and has a rich community spirit centred around two pubs, the renowned award winning Fox, and the Three Horseshoes, a Village Stores and Post Office and a large duck pond. The original parish church, All Saints', has a tower with clocks on three sides; the fourth side is blank, supposedly so that farm labourers would not be able to tell when to leave work! there are fantastic local walks and cycle routes to encourage outdoor living.
The nearby town of Letchworth offers a variety of High Street stores, independent shops, restaurants and public houses, together with a wide range of attractions including museum, art gallery, cinema, swimming pool, leisure facilities, parks and gardens. The property is also close to Letchworth Golf Club, Nuffield Health Club and some of the county’s most beautiful countryside.
Nearby Hitchin's vibrant and historic town centre is also within easy reach and provides a comprehensive range of shopping and recreational facilities including a branch of Waitrose.
There are excellent state and private schools in the area including St Francis' College and St Christopher School and in nearby Hitchin, Kingshott Preparatory School, Hitchin Boy's and Girl's school.
