Description
The Property - The Old School House is one of Barlaston's most historic properties dating in part from 1680. The property was extended in the mid 1800s with the addition of the Schoolmaster's cottage and remained in use as the primary school until 1963 when it became the village library. The property was fully renovated in 2009 when it was converted into a house and subsequent owners have continued to upgrade and improve the property.
This is a lovely house offering spacious and adaptable accommodation which successfully blends the requirements of twenty-first century living with the charm of a period property.
The heart of the house is the fabulous open plan living space with its tall vaulted ceiling, exposed A-frames and lots of natural light from windows to all elevations. The traditional style kitchen features an Aga and is semi open plan to the living area, making a great space for entertaining.
Proceed through the inner hall into the former schoolmaster's house and you will find more modest ceiling heights in keeping with a country cottage, The ground floor living space extends into a large double fronted reception room currently used as a play room, together with a home office, utility room and cloakroom with WC.
The boutique style main bedroom is on the ground floor, featuring a luxurious shower room and two walk-in closets and there are a further three bedrooms on the first floor, with en-suite to the guest bedroom and a family bathroom.
Gardens & Grounds - The Old School House is approached by car from Broughton Crescent over a gravel driveway with gates opening to a large parking area with space for a number of vehicles and large detached two car garage. Pedestrian access directly onto the village green from the gate at the front of the house.
Extensive mature gardens to all sides of the property which are mainly lawn with planted borders, mature hedges and established trees. For those who prefer an al fresco lifestyle there are extensive opportunities for outdoor living, with a large secluded patio with outdoor kitchen and BBQ.
