A CHARACTER HOUSE STEEPED IN HISTORY

School House, as the name suggests, used to belong to the village school and was used as the Headmistress's residence for a number of years. Dating back to the mid-1600s, the property has a number of period features - heavily timbered throughout - and has also been extended. The property is Grade II listed.
The accommodation includes two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, a utility room and ground floor WC with two double bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor and a spacious master bedroom with an en-suite shower room in the attic.
From the days when the property was the Crown Inn, the cellar still exists, accessed externally.
Outside, the property has ample off-road parking and a rear garden, including a fenced pond, which attracts a wide range of wildlife. There is a coal store attached to the property and there is a large timber workshop, which has power and light, located in the corner of the garden.

The plot extends to Approx. 1/4 (sts)

Directions:
The property can be found at the centre of the village, approached from Framlingham, continuing from Church Road to Shop Street, where the property is located between the village pub and the primary school.
