Description

The Schoolhouse is a charming, detached property, originally constructed around 1880 and more recently subject to a comprehensive programme of renovation, resulting in a well-appointed and comfortable family home that successfully blends period character with modern living.
The heart of the home is the impressive open plan kitchen, dining and living area, designed with contemporary family life in mind. French doors provide direct access to the garden and patio, allowing for an abundance of natural light and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The kitchen is further complemented by a large pantry and offers internal access to the integral garage.
In addition to the open plan space, the ground floor provides two further reception rooms, offering flexibility for formal living, a family room or home office. A utility room with WC completes the accommodation at this level.
The first floor comprises three well-proportioned double bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms are positioned to the front and are served by a newly installed, modern family bathroom featuring both a bath and separate walk-in shower.
The principal bedroom suite is particularly noteworthy, benefiting from a generous en-suite bathroom and a walk-through wardrobe leading to a dressing room, which could equally serve as a home office or nursery.

Garden (and Grounds)

Externally, the property is approached via a private driveway providing ample parking and access to the garage. The gardens are a particular feature, laid predominantly to lawn with patio areas ideal for outdoor entertaining, all enjoying open views across the surrounding countryside.
