A spacious and characterful 5 bedroom detached home in the countryside hamlet of Hound Green.

Old School House is a character property of local historical note, that is now a charming four bedroom family home with far reaching countryside views and an attached annexe. The original section to the property is believed to have been a pair of late 18th century cottages, only to have been converted to become the Hound Green Church of England School in approximately 1898. It is understood that in 1953 it became a private residence and it earned its Grade II listed status in 1987 as a building of local historical interest. The property is accessed via timber gates and a gravel driveway. There is an attached double garage and parking for multiple vehicles. The main entrance hall has Kotah yellow Indian sandstone flooring and gives access to the annexe, the courtyard pond at the centre of the property and leads through to the rest of the house. There is a formal dining room with oak flooring and a feature fireplace with a Hamlet multi-fuel cast iron stove, a snug which also has a character fireplace with a rather unique Jotul wood burner and then through to the kitchen. The kitchen benefits from porcelain tumbled flagstone floors, modern cabinetry with granite worktops, a double Belfast sink, Rangemaster cooker & hood and other fitted appliances. The vast drawing room offers two sets of double hinged French doors out onto the gardens and countryside views beyond, with a Jetmaster open fire and even a hidden bar area. There is also a laundry/utility room which houses the boiler and has access to the garden. The upstairs is accessed via an oak staircase leading to four double bedrooms and a bathroom. The master bedroom is one of the outstanding features of this property, and benefits from a dressing area with secondary en-suite shower room, a set of French doors with Juliet balcony opening out onto the garden and countryside views beyond. There is also a luxurious master bathroom benefitting from underfloor heating through porcelain tumbled flagstone flooring, a walk in shower, dual vanity sinks and a luxurious Victoria & Albert free-standing bath made from volcanic limestone placed in front of another set of French doors with glass juliet balcony offering further views over the adjoining countryside. The annexe benefits from a bedroom/lounge area with an en-suite shower room and a kitchenette with access to the rear garden. The owner currently lets this out, details of which can be gained from the selling agent. Outside the garden is well stocked with mature trees, shrubs and plants. There is a patio immediately off the drawing room and also a raised decking terrace to the rear of the garden adjoining the neighbouring fields. The terrace has a sunken SpaForm hot tub, power and lighting and a covered area for dining.
