Old Schoolhouse with Cottage and Barns

Property Description

This delightful former schoolhouse dating back to 1728 has been lovingly restored and combines many period features and old-world charm with the conveniences required for modern living. A spacious 4-bedroom house with attached barn and separate 1-bedroom cottage, further barn and outbuildings, part-walled garden and access lane all set on the edge of this pretty village, within easy reach of a market town, all set in over half an acre.
The property is approached by a quiet rural road leading into the village with private access lane sweeping into the courtyard. The pretty walled garden to the main house is entirely separate from the cottage garden and large vegetable garden with orchard. The gardens have been carefully planted, providing a riot of colour and perfumes around the sun terrace and lawn beyond.
This delightful property of traditional stone construction benefits from recent slate roofs which have been replaced over the last 20 years. The large detached barn used as a garage, is of stone construction with tin roof. The smaller outbuildings overlooking the garden are equally of stone construction with slate roofs.
The main house provides an entrance hall, large kitchen / dining room, sitting room and utility room / shower room with WC on the ground floor. The first floor provides a landing, master bedroom with dressing room, two further bedrooms and a bedroom with potential for adding an ensuite (the pipework is in place behind the wall), especially interesting. There is a large attic above, ripe for conversion into further accommodation and a cellar beneath the kitchen which provides a well with pump; ideal for watering the garden!
The cottage provides a large kitchen / dining room and sitting room on the ground floor, with mezzanine bedroom, shower room with WC and storage room with bunk beds on the first floor.
The cottage is an ideal annexe for family members or has previously been a successful holiday rental. The main house has previously been run as a Bed and Breakfast and retains the potential for earning a living. There are separate garden areas, all beautifully landscaped and maintained, and are not overlooked.
The property provides all main services including mains drainage, mains water and broadband internet. The main house offers single glazed windows, central heating via the Alpha oil-fired range cooker and many period features; original beams, fireplaces, staircases, parquet flooring and more. The cottage offers double glazing throughout electric heating and Wi-fi.
Within an easy stroll of the village centre (250m) with bakery and restaurant and only 3.5km from the town providing all amenities, the property is ideally situated with good walks from the doorstep, with riverside walks close by. The village is a pretty, traditional village with all the cables running underground which adds to its character.
An ideal opportunity to purchase a light and spacious home with immediate business potential.
