The Avenue, Healing, DN41

Situated at the Low Road end of The Avenue this classic Edwardian residence was originally built as a home for the schoolmaster of Healing School and retains much of the charm and grandeur of its 1908 origins. It stands within established grounds with lovely views looking southwards into its own lawned garden and viewing is highly recommended to appreciate all that it has to offer.

The property has the benefit of gas central heating and uPVC windows and principal features of the accommodation include the welcoming Reception Hall from where the staircase with spelled balustrade leads to the first floor, the lovely Sitting Room with double aspect windows and a pine firesurround, the additional well proportioned Living Room (currently used as an extra bedroom) and the spacious Dining Kitchen with a comprehensive range of limed oak units and built in appliances. Double doors give access from the Dining Kitchen to a very sweet paved courtyard garden (ideal for al-fresco breakfast!) and there is a useful Utility Room.

The remaining ground floor accommodation provides interesting options with a Conservatory, a flexible Living Room/Bedroom and an en-suite Shower Room. This part of the house has previously been used as an annexe for a live-in relative but can easily be enjoyed as part of the main family accommodation.

At first floor level there are four bedrooms, the Master benefitting from its own en-suite Shower Room and a great range of wardrobes. The Family Bathroom is of great size, being fully tiled and complete with a white suite including a bidet.

To the front of the house there is plenty of driveway parking plus the Double Garage (with electric door) and a car port. The main lawned garden is enhanced by a split level terrace while the almost 'secret' courtyard garden to the eastern side is a delightful feature.

The popular village of Healing offers a general store to meet those everyday needs, well regarded schools, the Healing Manor Hotel with adjacent public house and regular bus and train services.

All in all The Old Schoolhouse is a unique home just waiting for the right buyer - please view without delay.
