Description
As the name suggests, 2 Old School Cottages comprises a charming conversion of a former Victorian school in a semi-rural location on the edge of the village of Wissett.  

The conversion and refurbishment of 2 Old School Cottages was undertaken in a very sympathetic manner and retaining much of its Victorian charm.  On the ground floor there is an entrance hall with decorative tiled floor with staircase leading up to the part galleried landing, well fitted kitchen and spacious sitting and dining room with fireplace and French doors opening onto the rear garden.   On the first floor there is the aforementioned galleried landing, three bedrooms and a bathroom.  

Outside there is a shingled parking area large enough for two cars.  To the front of Number 2 is a small area of garden, whilst to the rear is a very private, semi-enclosed garden enjoying delightful views across the gently undulating surrounding countryside, that can be accessed from the sitting and dining room.  The garden has been laid to grass for ease of maintenance.  

The extent of the property being offered for sale is as edged in red on the indicative site plan included within these particulars.
