4 bedroom house

Thought to date from the 1870s, The Old School House is built of stone with a tiled roof and has a private position on a hillside overlooking pretty rolling countryside. The property has been a private house for many years before becoming derelict. It was then rescued in 2021 and sympathetically renovated to a high standard. The house has the benefit of undergoing a complete and comprehensive refurbishment in 2021. This includes a new central heating and plumbing system, rewiring, new kitchen and bathroom fittings, new double-glazed windows, new carpets throughout and the installation of a new treatment plant in line with current regulations. All manufacturer's warranties for the above works are provided. The Old School House presents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a period property with the confidence and assurance that you would expect from a modern home.

On the ground floor are two reception rooms, conservatory and kitchen/breakfast room, which is fully fitted and has a 2-oven AGA and downstairs WC. On the first floor are two double bedrooms with en suite shower rooms and two further bedrooms with direct access to the dual-access family bathroom.

The property sits in a newly landscaped garden of about 0.44 acre with a south-facing paved terrace, attached double garage and ample parking. An additional 0.5 acre may available to buy from the neighbouring landowner by separate negotiation.
