4 Bedroom Detached House

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION Welcome to this charming Victorian stone-built former schoolhouse, set in the peaceful rural hamlet of Norton Hawkfield. Full of character and space, this lovely family home is ready for a new chapter. While it is in need of updating, it offers a wonderful opportunity to create a home perfectly suited to your family's needs - and with no onward chain, the move can be that little bit simpler.
The former schoolroom now serves as a spacious and characterful reception room, featuring original Victorian oak flooring and a Bath stone fireplace. It's a welcoming space for everyday family life as well as special occasions. There is also a separate library reception room with Neville Johnson fitted cabinetry and another original fireplace and hearth - ideal as a cosy snug, study or playroom.
The David Salisbury conservatory, complete with underfloor heating, provides a bright and comfortable space to enjoy garden views all year round. The country-style kitchen/breakfast room is filled with natural light and overlooks the garden, offering a practical and sociable setting for family meals.
There are two family bathrooms, one on the ground floor and one on the first floor, both offering scope for updating. Upstairs, you'll find four good-sized bedrooms, including the original teacher's bedroom with its period fireplace. Each room enjoys pleasant views over the surrounding countryside.
On the lower ground floor, the property benefits from a double garage and a wine cellar, providing excellent storage and additional space.
Outside, the wraparound gardens include the original school playground, offering plenty of room for children to play and for outdoor entertaining. Slightly separate from the house is a lovely meadow with stream frontage, providing further potential and a lovely connection to the surrounding countryside.
This is a unique home in a delightful rural setting, offering space, character and the chance to make it your own. We would be delighted to arrange a viewing - please get in touch to find out more!
