The Old School House is a Grade II listed stone country house built in 1844, with a 2005 extension that complements its original architecture. The house has a slate roof and features traditional mullion windows, oak flooring, and a vaulted drawing room with triple-height ceilings. Inside, the house includes a kitchen with integrated appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a Lutron lighting system. There is also a 35' long drawing room with a stone fireplace and a dining room with panelled walls and a stone floor. Additional rooms include a study with a marble fireplace and a bay window, a utility room with a granite worktop, and a guest cloakroom. The house has two staircases, leading to five bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe, and two further double bedrooms with en-suite facilities. The house sits on approximately 2 acres of land, with a gated entrance, a gravelled courtyard, and a south-facing garden with York stone paving and a ornamental stone pond. The property also features a heated greenhouse, a cold frame, and an orchard with a variety of fruit trees.
