Description
Set in a tranquil and highly sought-after rural location, this exceptional 4-bedroom bungalow offers a rare opportunity to own a spacious, character-filled home with a fascinating past and a versatile future.
Originally serving as the village school in the 1800s, the property has been thoughtfully transformed into a warm and inviting residence that blends historical charm with modern-day comfort.
Inside, you’ll find four generously sized double bedrooms, including a particularly large master suite with its own private en-suite bathroom. Each bedroom offers flexibility for family living, guest accommodation, or even a dedicated home office.
There are two and a half bathrooms in total, including a beautifully appointed family bathroom with a luxurious four-piece suite, a private en-suite in the master, and a separate cloakroom/WC—ideal for guests and everyday convenience.
The modern kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring solid wood finishes, integrated appliances, and a spacious dining area that's perfect for family meals or casual entertaining.
Living space is abundant and adaptable. The main lounge features elegant wood flooring and a cosy fireplace, creating a welcoming atmosphere for relaxing evenings. A second reception room offers additional space for entertaining or unwinding, while the third reception room—converted from the original garage—provides a flexible area that can serve as a home office, playroom, or family den.
Set on an impressive plot of approximately one acre, the property enjoys ample off-road parking to both the front and rear. A large detached workshop or garage adds further value, providing excellent storage, hobby space, or commercial potential for those seeking a work-from-home solution or running a small business.
Lovingly maintained and move-in ready, this one-of-a-kind home offers space, charm, and peace in equal measure. Its rural setting provides a serene backdrop, while its flexible layout makes it ideal for growing families, remote workers, or anyone looking for a unique lifestyle retreat.
