Inviting offers between £550,000 and £600,000. Presenting an absolutely stunning, stone-built conversion of the former Marley Hill Primary School, this exceptional home offers over 3,100 square feet of generous living space within a picturesque semi-rural setting. Expertly divided into just two distinct homes, the property boasts far-reaching countryside views and an expansive, beautifully appointed interior. The versatile layout features four reception areas—including a spectacular open-plan kitchen and living space—alongside four spacious double bedrooms, two elegant en-suites, a contemporary family bathroom, and a convenient downstairs WC. Homes offering this remarkable blend of historic character, superior quality, and substantial proportions are rarely available to the market, making early viewing highly recommended to avoid disappointment.

The property opens into a welcoming hallway that extends elegantly to one side, finished with stylish, low-maintenance ceramic floor tiles that flow seamlessly throughout the majority of the ground floor. This central hallways provides access to the expansive open-plan kitchen and living area, a versatile snug, the principal living room, a convenient downstairs WC, and a generous double-door storage cupboard. Adding a touch of historic character, a beautiful original stone staircase leads to the first floor.

The spectacular open-plan kitchen features a comprehensive range of modern wall and base units, perfectly complemented by premium contrasting worktops and a striking central breakfast island. High-quality integrated appliances include twin ovens, a dishwasher, a fridge/freezer, and an electric hob with an overhead extractor. Furthermore, a separate, dedicated utility room provides excellent additional space for freestanding appliances and laundry facilities.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a beautifully appointed dining space, anchored by a charming multi-fuel log burner that serves as a stunning focal point. Flowing to the far end of this impressive room is a secondary lounge area, bathed in natural light from dual-aspect windows and two sets of French doors. These doors open directly onto the south-facing rear garden, creating a bright, airy environment and a seamless transition for indoor-outdoor living and evening entertaining.

The main living room is wonderfully substantial, easily accommodating large furniture arrangements. Expansive windows ensure the room remains exceptionally bright, while a feature exposed fireplace adds incredible warmth and charm to the space.

Completing the ground-floor accommodation is a final, highly versatile reception room. Currently utilised as a cosy snug, this space can easily adapt to suit a buyer’s individual lifestyle needs—whether that be a dedicated home office, a ground-floor bedroom, or a personal home gym.

Ascending to the first floor, an extensive and airy landing provides access to four generously proportioned double bedrooms and the main family bathroom. The landing itself is highly practical, featuring two large storage cupboards that offer ample space and discreetly house the property's boiler.

Each of the four bedrooms offers an abundance of space for freestanding furniture. The principal and second bedrooms are particularly impressive, both benefiting from designated dressing areas and their own private en-suite facilities. These contemporary en-suites are tastefully part-tiled for effortless maintenance and are fully equipped with modern walk-in showers, washbasins, low-level WCs, and heated towel radiators.

Completing the first-floor accommodation is the stylish family bathroom. Finished in complementary neutral tones and elegant tiling to match the en-suites, this calming space features a fitted bathtub, providing a perfect spot to relax and unwind.

Externally, the property boasts a generous south-facing rear garden, ideally positioned to offer easy, direct access to three designated parking bays located just behind the home.

The garden itself features two distinct areas laid to lawn, intersected by a pathway that leads to a large, beautifully paved patio. This creates a perfect setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, and making the absolute most of the sunny southerly orientation.

Substantial fencing fully encloses the space, ensuring a wonderful sense of privacy and a secure outdoor environment.
