This charming detached period house has been sympathetically renovated and improved by the current owners who have created a truly wonderful home. The property is nestled in the heart of the village with a pretty fore garden, private parking and gated access to the front. The atmospheric sitting room features exposed wooden floor, wall and ceiling timbers, a large inglenook fireplace housing a Clearview wood burning stove and a beautiful oak staircase rising to the first floor. An archway opens to an “L” shaped kitchen/dining room which benefits from dual aspect windows affording plenty of natural light and views over the gardens. The kitchen area has a tiled floor, a range of painted wooden units, a Rayburn Range Master (with two boilers controlling the heating and cooking separately), integral dishwasher, space for an American style fridge/ freezer and access to the rear garden. The dining area has exposed wooden flooring and window overlooking the front, creating a wonderful informal entertaining space. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a useful utility room accessed from the covered porch with door off to a cloakroom. (Planning permission exists to link this to the house).
Stairs rise to a light and spacious galleried landing with picture windows, exposed wall timbers and high ceiling. There are three charming bedrooms and a sleek modern bathroom with white suite, built-in storage, under floor heating and shower over the bath. Old School House is immaculately presented and subtly decorated throughout.

Gardens and Grounds
The stunning rear gardens at the Old School House have been designed and landscaped by the current owners over recent years to create a truly wonderful backdrop to the house. Close to the house is a paved patio area running the length of the property a perfect place for alfresco dining with easy access to the kitchen. This area overlooks a series of retained beds encircled with gravel pathways. These beds can be used as a productive kitchen garden or for flowering plants. There is a further patio area at the end of the garden taking advantage of the countryside views and overlooking beautiful tiered stone walls and the meandering brook with a canopy of trees creating a haven for wildlife and a peaceful retreat. Tucked away to one corner of the garden is a useful work area with pedestrian gate to the front garden this area offers further potential subject to consents. There is a useful storage shed and space for a greenhouse. To the front of the property are two parking spaces and a pretty fore-garden.
