SUMMARY
Victorian school house conversion retaining many original/historic features:
- "The British School 1898" commemorative stone
- School bell
- Gothic arch doorways
- Pitch pine window ledges from the (former) chapel next door
- Decorative corbels (loft)
Tastefully refurbished with modern design elements that complement its historic character:
- Under-floor heating with individual zone controls in all bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, dining room, hallway, and reception room. Efficient and an absolute joy for walking around with bare feet!
- Engineered oak flooring in kitchen, dining room, reception room, and hallway.
- All electrical outlets recently upgraded with USB points while remaining unobtrusive and in keeping with Victorian style (antique brass finish).
- Mixture of modern and antique light fittings
- Brass door furniture
Extra large, shuttered windows in all bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, and reception room create a bright, uplifting atmosphere throughout.
High ceilings, ample loft and distinctive architecture make The Old School look nothing like your run-of-the mill bungalow!
Single level layout and parking right by the back door is ideal for anyone with mobility issues.
