Description

Property Description: Guide Price £850,000 - £900,000. This Victorian, Grade II listed old school house, with its beautifully symmetrical front façade is located in the sought after village of Shapwick and retains many of its original features including the school bell. It has been recently renovated to a high standard providing spacious and modern living space combined with unique and charming character.

Through the Gothic front door and you are in what was the old cloak room, that would once have been filled with children's coats and satchels. Now a spacious entrance hall that is currently used as a study. This then leads through into the impressive 41ft x 17ft open plan living and dining room. This room has a fabulous staircase and two feature fireplaces, one with a log burner, creating a warm and cosy atmosphere and the perfect space for entertaining friends and family or simply relaxing with a book by the fire. This room has long mullioned windows running along opposite walls making it light and bright. All the windows, new with the renovation of the building, are double glazed

The spacious kitchen/breakfast room is a culinary delight, with painted kitchen units, solid wood block worktops and a butler style sink. The central island provides additional workspace and storage, while the Rangemaster oven and hob make cooking a breeze. A walk in pantry provides extra storage and houses a fridge freezer, keeping the kitchen clutter free. In addition there is a further walk in storage room off the kitchen. French doors open out from the kitchen onto a paved terrace.

The property has a back entrance that leads into a rear hallway off which is a laundry room/boot room and a downstairs cloakroom. The ground floor has two generous double bedrooms. One of the bedrooms has an en-suite shower room, while the other has an en-suite bathroom with a luxurious roll-top bath and a separate shower. This bedroom currently provides an income as a B&B room and is spacious enough for a sofa and dining table and has its own access to the outside.

The central staircase in the living room leads up to a galleried landing off which are two more spacious double bedrooms. Each bedroom has a walk-in dressing room and an en-suite bath/shower room. The bedrooms are both into the eaves and have exposed beams.

Outside: The property has low maintenance landscaped gardens to the front and back. Both gardens are mainly laid to gravel with raised beds and borders filled with various plants and shrubs. To the front the garden is surrounded by the Victorian built stone wall, which once surrounded the playground. The back is a paved terrace, which is just off the kitchen, as well as gravelled areas with raised beds. Both gravelled areas have the potential to be laid to lawn.

To the side of the property is a wood shed and storage. There is road access to the back of the house property with off road parking for up to four cars with a pedestrian gate that either takes you to the back door or through to the garden
