If you're looking for something a little different, a home with atmosphere, history and a rural location, then take a look at 'The Old School' on Raby Mere Road. Overlooking open countryside, farmland and other local period buildings, this special property is certain to capture your heart!

Designed by Joseph Hirst in 1869, this sandstone house was once a school and later became the Village Hall. It was then converted into a characterful three bedroom home brimming with character and charm, perfect for downsizers or the young professional. For those seeking a rural lifestyle yet within easy reach of the motorway for commuting and amenities, this offers the exact balance.

A country gate opens to a large paved driveway with a front facing patio and a lawn with a pond. Running alongside the house is an area ideal for entertaining around a firepit, growing vegetables in planters and enjoying the setting sun. At the rear you have a workshop, a studio currently used as a gym with a WC and also a store.

Internally the porch features exposed sandstone and an arched door leading into a hall with cloaks cupboard. The main reception room is large and bright with a log burner set into the original fireplace. The gothic lancet windows allow light to flood through and a staircase rises to the first floor landing. Double doors open to the dining room and access to the kitchen can be gained at the back of the living room or via the dining room.

The country-style kitchen features cream cabinetry topped with oak-block work surfaces, plenty of storage and a range cooker. You have a Belfast sink underneath the window and access to the courtyard through generous french doors.

Upstairs the landing is stunning, with exposed beams. The main bedroom benefits from a velux window and a further set of Lancet windows with views of the neighbouring farm. You have a further double room with built-in wardrobes and a single bedroom that could be used as a study. The bathroom is nicely sized with a shower over a clawfoot bathtub, a pedestal sink and a vanity WC unit with storage cupboard.

This really is something quite different, offering open-plan living space with a modern and functional feel, it will be a home of enjoyment and envy for years to come!
