About this property

Nestled beside the former Victorian village school in the picturesque village of Fringford, this detached stone property dates back to 1866 and is steeped in local history. Formerly the residence of descendants of 'Mad King George's' Physician and later on home to the village school headmaster.

Over the years the current owners have sympathetically extended the property, adding modern conveniences such as double glazing and oil central heating, whilst retaining all the period charm. The Old School House boasts approximately 1900 sq ft of accommodation and many of the well proportioned rooms are dual aspect.

Figures from MHCLG (Open Government Licence v3): the average bill for each band across Buckinghamshire, including the typical parish precept, so a parish's own bill can differ a little. Discounts lower the bill, such as 25% off for an adult living alone.
