The Old School House has been superbly refurbished to create a home where the present and the past seamlessly embrace. Defined by light this stunning four bedroom detached home effortlessly combines traditional character with modern style to create an individual property of evident high quality and flexibility.

The dramatic social space of the dining room, created from the former classroom, with its exposed timber work, return staircase and raised seating area cannot fail to impress with its light and charm. The recently extended kitchen with an extensive range of light fronted hand crafted units is an ideal informal social space suited to the demands of modern family life. There is flexibility too, the ground floor, fourth bedroom could easily become an intimate snug and the additional study and store are suited to a variety of uses.

The landing, which affords more impressive views across the dining lounge, allows access to three delightful bedrooms decorated in country French style and in addition to the family bathroom with its roll top bath and walk in shower there is a further en-suite shower room to one of the bedrooms. The 16’ main attic room also includes a hidden shower and allows for development into further accommodation if required.

The redesigned gardens again create space which is extended by views across open farmland to the rear and a detached double garage with potential first floor office space is supplemented by an extensive gravelled reception area ensuring space for those inevitable guests.
