Converted school house situated in pleasant countryside position
Description
The Old School is a characterful and attractive conversion of a former school dating from the turn of the 20th century, occupying a rural setting with attractive views across adjoining fields. Extending to over 2,200 sq ft of accommodation, the property is ideally suited to both families and couples, offering an appealing country retreat for those seeking a change of lifestyle.
Having remained in the same ownership for more than 30 years, The Old School presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home that combines space, character and flexibility. While the property would benefit from a degree of modernisation, it offers excellent scope for a purchaser to create a truly individual home.
The accommodation is entered via an entrance porch leading into an inner hallway, from which doors provide access to the principal reception rooms. The kitchen/breakfast room enjoys a bay window to the front aspect and is conveniently positioned adjacent to the dining room. The dining room and living room are separated by a striking central brick fireplace, while double doors open into a conservatory enjoying pleasant views over the gardens.
A particular highlight of the property is the impressive sitting room, formerly the original school classroom. This remarkable space features a full-height ceiling, an attractive fireplace and an abundance of natural light from its dual-aspect windows.
The ground floor accommodation is completed by a utility room and a shower room.
To the first floor are three bedrooms, including the principal bedroom, which measures an impressive 17 ft by 13 ft and benefits from an en suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a well-proportioned family bathroom.
Outside
The property is approached via a gravel driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles and leading to a detached double garage with an internal store room.
The gardens and grounds extend to approximately 0.4 acres and are predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by a variety of planted beds, mature shrubs and trees, a patio terrace and a small pond.
Location
The hamlet of Buckenham is approximately 3 miles from the village of Brundall and approximately 11 miles east of the city of Norwich. Brundall has a regular rail service to Norwich and Great Yarmouth and also a range of local amenities including shops and a post office. There are further shops and a post office in Lingwood and Strumpshaw. Primary schools are located in the neighbouring villages of Lingwood, Brundall and Cantley, with further schools in Norwich.
To the northeast of Buckenham is the Norfolk Broads National Park and there are two superb areas for bird watching at Buckenham Marsh and Strumpshaw Fen.
