Beautiful character property, a former rural schoolhouse dating from 1894, situated in the middle of stunning countryside on over 1.5 acres of land with lovely views. Peaceful and calm surroundings with only one neighbour and on a quiet lane.
This house has very spacious rooms, and has kept all its charm and authenticity, including many original features including the old school bell tower, beams, original chestnut floors and oak beams.
Ground floor: one enters through an impressive hallway, leading to a huge (74m2) living room with 4m high ceilings, a fireplace with wood-burning which also heats the bedrooms above. This room is really magnificent and would be ideal for large gatherings, but also has a cosy feel. On the other side of the hall, a very large country kitchen/dining room (36m2) with a stone fireplace equipped with a wood pellet burner (very economic and easy to use). Also on this level a laundry room and WC, and access to the cellar.
Upper floor: which has lovely views over the gardens, are two very large bedrooms (17m2 each), a shower room, and then on the other side of the upstairs hall, three more double bedrooms with beautiful chestnut floors and a large family bathroom. All the bedrooms have independent access.
Outside: there is a a terrace area, an open wood store, a workshop and a very large double garage with electric doors.
The property benefits from central oil heating, double glazing, and has a septic tank which was certified to conform to standard in 2014.
A rare property in a beautiful location.
