A most impressive early Victorian four bedroom detached period residence of exceptional character and charm standing in private established landscaped gardens in a superb location. With a wealth of attractive and appealing features, gardens and grounds to 0.44 of an acre and separate 1 acre paddock. Viewing highly recommended.

Agents Remarks

The School House has been a treasured family home for over 40 years and was previously the Headmaster's house of the school next door. The current owners have, in that time, extensively enhanced it whilst carefully blending its original period character with all modern features and comforts. The gardens are matured to an outstanding degree and the property affords wonderful private aspects and rural views to the rear. Approached via a gated entrance, the drive leads to a large parking area and to the rear of the conservatory/garden room is a carefully laid out patio and entertaining area. The grounds are well groomed and the property further benefits from an additional fenced and grassed 1 acre paddock.
