About this property

An exceptional former school, beautifully converted and enjoying an elevated position with far reaching countryside views The Old School is a rare and impressive former village school, originally built in 1843 and beautifully converted into a substantial detached home. Having later served as the village hall, the building was thoughtfully transformed in 1996 to create a light filled and generously proportioned residence, combining historic character with the comfort and flexibility required for modern family living. Set within a substantial plot and occupying an elevated position, the house enjoys open views across the surrounding countryside, creating an immediate sense of space, privacy, and connection to its rural setting.
