Description
In recent years, this lovely period home has been significantly remodelled and enhanced and offers extremely elegant and well designed accommodation of great style and warmth. The rear of the property was extended to create a welcoming entrance from the beautiful grounds. Most significantly, in 2017 a most impressive wing to the home that has added a superb open plan kitchen/breakfast with a lovely en suite bedroom above. The gardens are an exceptional feature of the property extending to circa 0.87 acre bordering open farmland with extensively landscaped gardens.
This pretty stone built home is believed to date to the 18th century with the main structure circa 1905 when it was remodelled to accommodate the local school teacher. The home is set directly off Barrow Street with the most wonderful rural outlook across its adjoining one acre grounds with a backdrop of mature trees, rolling hills and pasture land. The gently flowing Land Yeo runs through the lower part of the gardens creating a picturesque natural haven for an abundance of local wildlife. Two wooden bridges cross the stream leading to a lovely cabin with wood burning stove which has recently been upgraded by the current owners to insulate the interior to make it suitable for year round use.
Approached via a wide driveway with parking for four to five vehicles, a gravelled pathway leads to an attractive arched doorway, still featuring wonderful ironmongery with substantial braced hinges. A quarry tiled entrance vestibule opens on either side to two well balanced reception rooms. The drawing room is a quiet intimate space with a Bath stone fireplace and chimney breast housing a wood burning stove with stone hearth. There is a glazed display alcove on the front elevation with a window seat overlooking the front gardens. A pair of double doors with two gentle steps lead down to the playroom/family room with a high vaulted ceiling, conservation roof light and exposed stone walling. This in turn leads through the study area. The beautiful kitchen features a Smeg five burner range cooker with Bosch dishwasher with contemporary white units and AEG integrated microwave. Bifold doors open from two sides of this room truly bringing the outdoors in to this wonderful and sociable space. A dedicated utility area is set to the back of the kitchen with cupboard housing the pressurised hot water cylinder.
At first floor there are four bedrooms and a very large and well appointed family bathroom with ovoid free standing bath, limestone tiled floor and walls and large walk in shower. The principal bedroom has been created from within the new extended wing of the property and sits above the kitchen/family room. This is a delightful room bathed in natural sunlight with well positioned windows framing the extraordinary garden views. There is a dedicated en suite with shower, WC and antique ceramic hand basin.
Without doubt, School House has the most exceptional gardens and grounds. They are comprehensively stocked with mature trees and shrubs, deep well stocked flower borders, more natural areas that dip down to the pretty winding stream. Timber bridges step over to a delightful glade, interspersed with mature deciduous trees - in the early Spring, carpeted with wild garlic. The large orchard has a terrific array of productive fruit trees that include Pear, Apple, Plum and Medlar and either side the gardens are bordered by neighbouring wide, grass paddocks. The vista from the orchard through the unspoilt valley is stunning. A greenhouse and log store sit on the western side of the property and to the far boundary (to the right of the driveway) is the stone built barn which has been used for annexe accommodation but perhaps more likely is its use as a home office or gym. There is a bathroom in need of replacement but with power, light and water it is unlikely to be a significant expenditure to upgrade the building for regular use.
