Old School House occupies a picturesque position within the village of Knockin and comes to the market for the first time in 28 years. The property dates back to the 1830’s and enjoys a wonderful balance of accommodation which boasts a real versatility in how it can be used. The property is finished to a very high standard which is visible throughout. The conversion and subsequent further works carried out, factor in a whole host of other elements making this wonderful home a real pleasure to explore.
Entering the property, you have a generous entrance hall with a dual aspect study to the left, and the Schoolroom directly ahead of you through the double doors. On the right is a further hallway, with the Library room with built-in bookcases on the right and to the shower room on the left.
The stunning Kitchen/Family Room is directly ahead, a large light & airy space with island and bi-fold doors to landscaped gardens.
The Schoolroom is particularly impressive and showcases vaulted beamed ceilings with original oak parquet flooring, oak door and log burning stove, with a delightful garden room to the side which overlooks the patio and garden.
A wide spiral staircase leads to the first floor, where there are three large double bedrooms, two served by the family bathroom and one with an en-suite shower room.
Outside, there is a beautifully landscaped garden with large patio area overlooking the fields, and another lawned area to the front with a gravel driveway and ample parking.
In addition to the house itself, the property benefits from an oak framed double garage with hobby room above and a garden studio which could be perfect for working from home. The hobby room and garden studio are fully insulated. The main house, hobby room and garden studio all have network cabling throughout.
