Full Description:
The freehold for a Grade II listed one-bedroom home in a former village school house adjacent to the beautiful church & recently converted to the highest specification by a local respected & award-winning developer. The house comes with a generous wraparound garden complete with sycamore, flagstone paving, cast-iron railings atop natural stone walls & an allocated parking space. On entering through the stone arched doorway into the living area, the entire flooring is limestone with under floor heating; the stone mullioned windows giving a dual aspect ensure lots of natural light; there are wide, high windowsills, spot lighting, a modern yet sympathetic Burford fitted kitchen with gas hob with hood & electric oven under, integrated washer/dryer, choice of integral fridge or Bosch dishwasher, a discreet combination gas boiler & understairs storage area. There are multiple power points & network socket. There is also a good size downstairs toilet. The stairs split either side of the original A-frame roof support leading to a mezzanine floor of bedroom with separate under floor heating controls, original beam features, built-in wardrobes & chrome spot lighting, chrome power points & network socket; and bathroom with limestone tiling, ceramic bath & stylish chrome showerhead, chrome towel rail, built-in cupboard, extractor fan, under floor heating & chrome spotlights. There is a landing outside the bathroom which also has a network socket & gives access to generous loft space. Highest quality wall insulation was used throughout to minimise energy inefficiency.
Outside the garden has a flagstone patio area, outside tap & garden storage chest, while the border has been planted with privet hedging and a rose patch, the remainder laid to lawn. Farrow & Ball paints have been used externally for an old-style feel.
This home is a unique character property in a beautiful location which offers every internal modern convenience thanks to a renovation & conversion of experience & care.
This property is also offered with the benefit of no onward chain.
