Description
The accommodation extends to almost 1,000 sq. ft and offers well-proportioned rooms with excellent natural light throughout. A covered entrance porch leads into the SITTING ROOM a particularly characterful reception space featuring a wood-burning stove and bay window to the front elevation. Beyond lies the KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM which enjoys a pleasant outlook over the rear garden and provides a generous footprint for reconfiguration or modernisation. Adjoining the kitchen is a HOME OFFICE/DINING ROOM, and there is also a ground floor BATHROOM.
To the rear of the kitchen is an adjoining PART-ENCLOSED OUTBUILDING which has power and light which could lend itself to a variety of storage uses.
The first floor provides two bedrooms, both of good size and enjoying attractive outlooks over the garden and countryside beyond. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is particularly spacious and benefits from fitted wardrobes, whilst the SECOND BEDROOM also enjoys a pleasant aspect.
Although now requiring some updating, the house offers further scope for a purchaser to create an engaging village home combining period charm with contemporary styling. Features such as the stone mullion windows, steeply pitched rooflines and original proportions all contribute to the building’s appealing character and sense of history.
The property is likely to appeal equally as a permanent or secondary home for those seeking a Dorset village setting with excellent access to nearby amenities, coastline and transport links.
Outside
A particular feature of The Old School House is its delightful rear garden which enjoys a lovely backdrop with outlook over open fields and mature trees, creating a wonderfully peaceful and semi-rural atmosphere. Predominantly laid to lawn, the garden is interspersed with established planting, mature shrubs and trees which provide both colour and privacy throughout the seasons.
To the rear is a useful garden shed (approx.11ft x 9ft) together with areas ideal for seating, entertaining or further landscaping. The garden offers excellent potential for keen gardeners and families alike.
To the front, the property is approached via a pedestrian pathway with an enclosed cottage-style frontage, whilst off-road parking is available within the lay-by opposite. It should also be noted that a garage on the Warmwell Estate (located approximately 30 metres away) is available to rent. In addition, a private parking space may be available for sale by separate negotiation. Please enquire for further details.
