A 3 bedroom house which formerly would have been a Victorian School and School Master’s House which has been thoughtfully renovated so as to provide a superb amount of bright and airy living space, with a wealth of original character.

School House
From the red and black tiled entrance hall there is an arch leading into the snug, as well as separate doorway leading into the main living area, which benefits from a wealth of natural light provided by five windows to three sides, including a large gothic arched window to the gable end. Other features of note include exposed wood flooring, superb 14’ high vaulted ceiling and built-in storage cupboard. Leading off from the living area there is a doorway to a rear lobby, again with red and black tiled flooring and doorway which leads out to the rear garden. From the living area there is a further doorway to the kitchen/dining room, which features a range of base units, with inset butler sink and beech work surfaces and Rangemaster Range cooker. Other features of note include pamment tiled flooring, dual aspect windows, including large gothic arched window to front and superb 14’ vaulted ceiling height.

The snug features a three window bay, as well as fireplace with wood mantel. There is a doorway leading to the inner hall, which features red and black tiled flooring, with doorways to a walk-in pantry, cloakroom, which comprises half wood panelled walls, sink unit with mixer taps and low flush wc, and utility room, which houses a Worcester oil fired boiler and modern hot water cylinder, as well as a base unit with inset butler sink and wooden work surfaces. From here there is a doorway leading out to the rear garden. Also leading off from the inner hall there can be found a third bedroom which benefits from fitted book shelving, as well as dual aspect windows.

At first floor level there can be found two bedrooms, both of which feature three window bays, as well as exposed painted floorboards, with the principal also benefitting from its own walk-in dressing area and wardrobe. The family shower room comprises double width shower cubicle, pedestal wash handbasin and low flush wc.

Rooms

Outside
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)
