Description

This exceptional converted Victorian schoolhouse presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully appointed three-bedroom top-floor maisonette within a striking period setting. The property effortlessly combines historic character with modern comfort and practicality.

Occupying the top floors of this striking converted Victorian schoolhouse, the accommodation is arranged over two levels and centred around an impressive open-plan kitchen, living and dining room. This expansive space is ideal for both entertaining and everyday living, enhanced by high ceilings, large original sash windows, and ample room for a three-piece suite and additional freestanding furniture. The contemporary kitchen is comprehensively fitted with integrated appliances, including a built-in oven, microwave, dishwasher, and fridge, complemented by extensive cabinetry and generous storage space. Herringbone parquet flooring adds warmth and elegance, perfectly reflecting the property's blend of period charm and modern style.

The property offers three substantial double bedrooms, all generously proportioned and filled with natural light. The principal bedroom is positioned on the upper level and enjoys a striking outlook over the living space below, creating a wonderful sense of openness and character. It is currently arranged with full-height curtains, allowing the space to be screened off when desired for additional privacy and flexibility.

Bedroom Three, also located on the upper level adjacent to the principal bedroom, is another well-proportioned double with ample storage and a bright, airy feel. Bedroom Two is situated on the lower level and offers comfortable double accommodation with space for freestanding furniture and useful storage options.

The home is served by one well-appointed bathroom and shower room, both fitted with contemporary suites, quality sanitaryware, and chrome fittings.

Throughout the property, original architectural features have been sensitively preserved while seamlessly incorporating modern conveniences, including electric heating, updated bathroom suites, and excellent built-in storage solutions. The thoughtful layout creates a superb sense of space and versatility across both levels.

One of the property's standout features is access to the beautifully maintained communal grounds surrounding the Grade II listed Old School building. A charming pond provides a peaceful and secluded setting rarely found so close to the centre of town. The property also benefits from two allocated parking spaces located conveniently near the entrance, along with additional visitor parking.

Positioned within the historic Old School development overlooking Geneva Place, the property enjoys an enviable setting in the heart of Bideford. Renowned for its riverside setting, historic character, and thriving community, Bideford offers an exceptional lifestyle in picturesque North Devon, with attractive views further enhancing the appeal of this unique home.

This outstanding maisonette must be viewed to fully appreciate the scale, character, and lifestyle it offers.
