Old School House occupies a picturesque position within the village of Knockin and comes to the market for the first time in 27 years. The property dates back to the 1800’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 host of other elements making this wonderful home a real pleasure to explore.
Upon entrance to the property, you have a generous entrance hall with a dual-aspect study to the left, and the Schoolroom directly ahead of you through double doors. To the right is a further hallway, on the right the Library room with built-in shelves and shower room on the left.
The stunning Kitchen/Family Room is directly ahead, a light and airy space with large island and bi-fold doors to landscaped gardens. The school room is particularly impressive and showcases vaulted beamed ceilings with original parquet flooring, oak door and log burning stove, with a delightful garden room to the side overlooking the patio and garden.
A wide spiral staircase leads to the first floor, where there are three large double bedrooms, two served by a family bathroom and one with its own en-suite shower room.
Outside, there is a beautifully landscaped garden with large patio area overlooking fields, and another lawned area to the front with 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, and the main house, hobby room and garden studio all have network cabling throughout.
The village of Knockin offers a local shop, public house, doctors surgery and the well-supported Knockin & Kinnerley Cricket Club. Further afield are the market towns of Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Ellesmere and Welshpool, offering a wealth of amenities including markets, independent shops, supermarkets, restaurants, cafes and leisure facilities.
