A charming four bedroom late Victorian double fronted detached property set within beautiful garden grounds in a village location.
Description
Schoolhouse was built in 1891 presumably for the principal teacher to the adjacent primary school. Providing excellent family living accommodation, great care has been taken to retain the property’s original features, which include decorative cornices in the reception rooms, high ceilings and pitch pine doors. Modern updates to the property include double glazing throughout, a new Grant boiler, a new hot water tank and a new electric switch board. The lime harled stone and slate property which is in excellent order is set in beautiful mature grounds to the south and east with herbaceous borders, climbing Virginia Creeper and Hydrangea adorn the property.
ACCOMMODATION
The front door leads to a light and airy entrance vestibule with an original mosaic tiled flooring. A glazed door leads to the wide reception hall, where an attractive staircase leads up to the mezzanine and first floors. The reception hall is generously proportioned with exposed pitch pine doors leading to the three reception rooms and the inner hallway.
The elegant sitting room has an abundance of period features with a high ceiling, southerly views of the garden from a beautiful bay window, ornate cornicing and a striking marble open fireplace is framed on either side by arched alcoves.
Opposite the sitting room is the well proportioned, dual aspect dining room with a feature arched alcove, an ideal space for entertaining.
The third reception room has versatile use as a lounge and has previously been a music room. It is a bright room with dual aspects.
The reception hall leads into the inner hallway, which has pine panelling to dado height where there is a shower room and adjacent utility room with an arched entrance. The utility room houses the new hot water tank and the new Grant central heating boiler is outside.

Appliances include an integrated dishwasher, fridge, microwave, double oven and an induction hob.
The beautiful period staircase with ornate iron balustrade, has a large velux window ensuring the mezzanine landing has plentiful natural light. On the mezzanine level the family bathroom features a traditional style, white, three piece suite. The bathroom is also filled with natural light.
