This historically significant Grade II listed detached cottage, known as The Old School House, presents an exceptional opportunity for renovation and modernization. Situated in a sought-after village setting, the property boasts charming original features that can be preserved while updating it for contemporary living. The house has remained in the same family for over 45 years, allowing you to create a unique home with character that pays homage to its past. Nestled within mature gardens and adjacent to open countryside, the property enjoys a sense of privacy and picturesque rural views. A notable aspect of its history includes its origins as a village school, with remnants of past eras still visible today. The interior offers potential for reconfiguration; the entrance hall welcomes you with elements such as an inglenook-style fireplace and an understairs cupboard. The spacious sitting room features dual aspects with French doors leading to the garden and a lovely picture window overlooking paddocks. Meanwhile, the kitchen comes equipped with base and wall units alongside integrated appliances, although modernizing it could enhance functionality further. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms including one with an en suite shower room. Notably, one bedroom can be easily transformed into a separate space, maximizing usability. The grounds include off-road parking through elegant wrought iron gates leading to a carport and courtyard area featuring various outbuildings—ideal for storage or potential redevelopment (subject to planning permission). Beautifully landscaped gardens provide an inviting outdoor space that connects seamlessly with the countryside beyond. This property calls for vision and investment to bring it up to date while respecting its character—an exciting project for those looking to make their mark on a piece of local history.
