The Old School House, formerly a school and schoolmaster’s residence, dates back to 1844 and is constructed of stone under a slate roof. The property is Grade II listed by Historic England and was sympathetically extended in 2005, in a style that remains in keeping with the original architecture. The owner engaged with renowned family firm Mouldings to undertake the work. The house is exceptionally attractive, combining striking modern design with traditional mullion windows and an outstanding interior. On a day-to-day basis, the house is accessed from a side door, approached along a flag stone terrace and enters into an inner hallway. There is a walk in pantry immediately to the right, a staircase leading to the principal bedroom and doors providing access to both the kitchen and the exceptional vaulted drawing room. The kitchen is well-appointed with an extensive range of floor and wall-mounted cabinetry, offering ample storage. There are twin sinks with a mixer tap and a separate integrated filtered water tap and stainless steel work surfaces. Appliances include an integrated Sub-Zero fridge freezer, a Wolf range cooker with a gas hob and overhead extractor fan, and a built-in microwave. There is a Lutron lighting in the kitchen and the ceiling speakers are controlled by the Nuvo media control system. The old school room, now an impressive 35’ long drawing room, has oak flooring with triple-height vaulted ceilings with two large leaded, mullioned windows providing ample light into the room. There is a store cupboard in the corner and a striking stone fireplace. The dining room adjoins the drawing room and has panelled walls and a stone floor. The ornate fireplace has a stone surround, while mullion windows with shutters look out to the beautiful garden and open countryside beyond. The original arched front doors lead in from the front of the house. The study is well suited for both working and entertaining; it is a generously proportioned room with oak flooring a
