An historic Grade II listed characterful former village school, The Old School House, originally the headmaster's house with later additions to provide school rooms, blends period charm with modern comfort.

A generous kitchen with oak base and wall units, central island all under granite worktops providing ample storage houses a dishwasher, gas range cooker, larder cupboard and the spacious double-aspect dining room with double doors leads to the bright and light double aspect sitting room with a door to the terrace, the games room provides a space for family fun with access to the terrace. Two cloakrooms and a laundry room completes the downstairs accommodation. A back hall with doors to the garden and an elegant oak staircase gives access to the first-floor galleried landing.
