This is how the estate agent describes it:-

A captivating detached stone property sitting in grounds of 0.4 of an acre with roots dating back to 1864 when it served as the village school. The property became a residential dwelling sometime in the 1970's and retains delightful character features, such as the fleur-de-lys and cockscomb ornamental ridge tiles, diamond criss cross leaded light windows, original Victorian fireplaces, double height windows, stone mullions and the original door to the school. The property has been improved and extended by the current sellers, whom have been in residence for the last thirty years. There is a rear extension forming the kitchen with part glazed roof and Iroko wood frame, oil and solid fuel central heating via radiators plus partial double glazing. Briefly the accommodation comprises:- the original entrance hall, shower room, drawing room with bespoke Ash staircase which leads to a gallery and master bedroom with en-suite bathroom. There is the current main entrance with stairs rising to the first floor, reception room, dining room which opens into the kitchen. Above, are two double bedrooms and a bathroom. Outside there is generous parking for several vehicles, a large single garage/workshop, potting shed/greenhouse and the barn. There is also the old school's changing rooms which have been divided into different storage areas. The main gardens lie to the front of the house and sides. Of particular note is the King George VI coronation Oak in the garden. Viewing is highly recommended to fully understand what this home has to offer.
