THE Old School House, redesigned by an architect, has been sensitively restored with the former school master’s house and the two classrooms converted into a fascinating dwelling. During its renovation it has been rewired with design lighting (including dimmer and mood lighting), new gas central heating, new roof and full insulation, a new staircase incorporated with a large balcony mezzanine overlooking the main living space, along with a new kitchen and new stained glass windows. The garden has been professionally landscaped and redesigned, and includes lawn and paved areas as well as shrubs and fruit trees.
Beside the house the five bar gates give access to the gravelled drive. The sheltered side entrance leads directly from the drive into the main entrance hall and living space, with the new staircase, cloakroom, French doors to garden with its stained glass window above and far reaching views. Beyond is the utility/boot room with external doors either end. The garden/sitting room has a flagstone floor, recessed wood burning stove and French doors to the garden; the study/reception room has an open fireplace and has in the past been used as a third bedroom. The kitchen/dining room features a range oven.
Stairs lead up to a large balcony landing overlooking the main living space. There are two good sized bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The gardens are primarily at the back of the house with fabulous westerly views.
