The property sits within an overall plot of approximately a quarter of an acre (STS), to the front of which there is a large tarmac driveway, which provides ample parking, with the front boundary enclosed by a brick wall, with five bar gate, with separate pedestrian gated access. Within the rear garden there can be found a brick and slate outbuilding which we assume is the original school toilets, but which has been arranged into a shower room, cloakroom and separate office/storeroom. To the side of this can be found the enclosed and well screened oil tank. Immediately to the rear of the property there is a paved patio area with slate shingle area beyond, all of which is enclosed by lawned garden, with access to the front via either side of the property.
Overall, taking into account the wealth of character and feature which this property presents, the superb ceiling heights, impressive floor area, and great care which has gone into its renovation, as well as the rarity (truncated)
