A charming former schoolhouse of great character, which dates from 1874 with later additions. The handsome elevations are mainly of brick and flint under a tiled roof, and the later extensions of brick and render under a flat roof. The house, which is not listed, offers a wealth of original character features and period charm. These include the Gothic arched windows, the bell tower, pine floors, stripped pine doors, and of course ‘school type' radiators. The layout of the accommodation is versatile and offers a buyer huge scope to arrange in different ways to suit their needs. Early inspection is recommended.

The front door with glazed fanlight over opens into the entrance porch and then through into the impressive double height school room, now used as the sitting/dining room. It features a brick fireplace and hearth with open grate, pine floorboards, a raised dining area with gallery rail, and stairs up to a mezzanine sitting or library area, also used as an occasional guest bedroom. Leading off is the bright orangery with glazed lantern roof, log burner and French doors to the terrace and garden. The kitchen breakfast room is also double height with a large Gothic arched window. It is fitted with a range of units, gas hob (propane), double oven and dishwasher and also houses the oil fired boiler. A rear hall provides a boot room and leading off is the former school kitchen, now the utility room, with Belfast sink, plumbing for a washing machine and a range of cupboards.

A good size inner hall with store cupboards gives access to the bedroom accommodation. The two larger bedrooms are in the former classroom, with tall windows along one wall. The two smaller bedrooms have rooflights and glazed doors into the orangery. There is a family bathroom and a separate shower room.

Outside
Entrance gates open into a driveway providing extensive parking. This leads through screen gates to the rear where there is further parking, and to the Double or possibly Triple Garage. It is currently used as a double garage and workshop area, with an area partitioned off for use as an office, also accessed from the orangery. There are front and rear gardens which are mainly lawned with a variety of shrubs and trees, and a secluded terrace with pergola, perfect for summer dining.
