Description
The Old School House is a conversion of this historic building which is believed to have been constructed in 1863. It is built of mellow stone elevations under a pitch tiled roof and is nestled in the ever-popular village of Bicknoller. The property has been greatly improved by the current owners yet retails much of its original charm and character. Situated in private gardens there is also off-road gated parking and, in the garden, there is a small stone outbuilding useful for storage.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes a front door to an entrance lobby/boot room with door to the kitchen/family room which has been upgraded by the current owners to include a range of shaker style wall and base units, an electric Aga with island and breakfast bar. There is a door to a utility/WC and door through to the dining room which is a generous sized room with steps rising to the 1st floor with under stairs cupboard, feature fire place with electric wood burning stove and wonderful views over the garden. Door leads through to the sitting room which is a well-proportioned triple aspect room with exposed stone fireplace with gas wood burning stove effect onto the timber-decked terrace.

On the 1st floor there is a landing with doors to the principle rooms and airing cupboard. The master bedroom is a sizable dual aspect bedroom with fitted wardrobes and views over the village. The two further bedrooms are good sized doubles and there is a family bathroom which comprises a traditional four-piece suite including a separate shower and jacuzzi style bath.

Outside
