A thoroughly impressive Victorian school conversion, originally built in the mid19th Century in front of The Old Schoolhouse as a 'new' boys' school, with the attractive detail in the brick work echoing the style of the earlier Richard Clarke First School. Converted to a dwelling in 1995 with its final 'official role' being the school canteen, this delightful dwelling has more recently been further improved by the current owners to the flexible family home we see today. With many original features being preserved such as: parquet floors, original oak door and exposed timber frame, some attractive external stone work and the high ceilings subtly reminding you of its former life. All tastefully blended with a few more contemporary twists. Original stone steps lead to the attractive entrance hallway with an original oak door opening to the double aspect sitting room with log burner and stone surround. The bespoke kitchen diner has a central island, large pantry and doors to the rear garden and the central dining room looks up to a wonderfully elegant split gallery landing. The ground floor is completed with a second double aspect living room also with a log burner, a utility room with side access and a useful ground floor shower room. Upstairs continues to remind you of the previous uses of the building with a beautifully preserved timber frame, vaulted ceilings and glimpses of the external stone work through the windows. Three separate landing spaces provide useful storage cupboards and wardrobes, the principal bedroom suite boasts a dressing area and en suite WC, and the three further bedrooms are served by a luxury family bathroom. Externally the south facing and wonderfully private rear garden has been professionally landscaped, the detached garage has a dedicated office or gym space above and private parking is found both in front and behind the large timber gates.
