This distinctive, unmodernised former schoolhouse presents a rare chance to acquire a property rich in historical charm and unique character. Built from Cotswold stone in 1849, this residence has been cherished by the same family for nearly six decades since it ceased functioning as a village school. The property’s traditional stone-tiled roof and original leaded windows preserve its 19th-century allure. Inside, the expansive old school room features stone walls, historical fireplaces, and a mezzanine area that offers future flexibility for adaptations. Adjacent is the dining area of the erstwhile schoolmaster's residence, leading into south-facing living spaces, including extensions for a kitchen and sunroom, alongside an entrance lobby with WC. A potential downstairs bedroom suite awaits renovation, with external access needing plumbing work. Upstairs houses two bedrooms and a bathroom. Perfect for enthusiasts of historic homes, this building serves as an excellent foundation for creating a bespoke Cotswold residence or holiday retreat in an idyllic setting.
The property's approach is marked by gravel parking accommodating several vehicles, bordered by gardens that provide privacy with established hedges and tiered trees. The location within Baunton offers tranquility while remaining close to Cirencester's vibrant amenities and the scenic countryside ideal for walking and riding.
