DESCRIPTION A beautifully presented former Victorian village school and adjoining cottage, situated in a quiet location in the popular village of Buckland Dinham. The property lies within a Conservation Area and enjoys lovely views. The property is believed to date from c.1853 and has undergone a complete renovation/improvement programme over the past 3 years and now provides stunning open plan living space. The gardens and grounds equate to just under 1/2 an acre and are a particular feature of this property, together with lovely views to the Orchardleigh Estate and open countryside. A viewing to fully appreciate what this interesting and superb property offers is highly recommended.
This tasteful and skilfully converted Victorian school and former cottage provides interesting accommodation and open plan living space, whilst also offering original charm and character with open fire places, elevations of mellow random stone with dressed stone quoins, stone mullion windows, flagged stone flooring in the porch, the original bell tower and a plaque above the door dated '1853.' The School bell was donated to the Buckland Dinham History Group and now sits on the top floor in Buckland Dinham's village hall.
The centre feature of the house is the impressive light and airy spacious open plan living room which contains two spiral staircases that lead to two sizeable galleried landings offering extra space or work areas. The magnificent open plan drawing/sitting and dining room has extraordinarily high vaulted ceilings with exposed 'A' frame beams, pine flooring, an open stone fireplace and a Charnwood multi-fuel log burner. This room also enjoys attractive views towards the Orchardleigh Estate and has sliding doors leading to the outside patio. The kitchen/breakfast room has Amtico tiled flooring, a central island, with plumbing for a dishwasher, which also provides wooden units with tiled work top surfaces with a sink unit. A further range of wooden units and tiled worktop surfaces run along the wall with a double oven and an electric hob. This is also a very light and spacious room with a large wall to wall south facing window. Leading from the kitchen is a large utility room with a Grant oil boiler and a stainless steel sink with cupboard space under. There is also the cloakroom, with a wash basin and a WC. The downstairs bathroom offers wooden flooring, a pedestal wash basin, WC and a circular double end bath.
Former Cottage

There is a further sitting room, which also has a fireplace, with a Charnwood multi-fuel log burner and a log recess with a door leading back through the house and a door leading to the new conservatory/garden room, which has a quarry tiled floor and chill down lighters, with sliding doors to the gardens.
The first floor comprises of two galleries. Gallery one leads to the master bedroom which has vaulted ceilings, views to Alfred's Tower, a large arched window fitted wardrobes and a large en-suite bathroom comprising a freestanding bath with central chromium plated fittings, large mirrors and wooden flooring, a WC and a pedestal wash basin.
The second gallery leads to the other two double bedrooms and the large bathroom. Bedroom two offers double built-in wardrobes and enjoys spectacular views towards Orchardleigh and Heaven's Gate.
OUTSIDE The mature gardens and grounds are an important feature and equate to just under 1/2 an acre.

There is a further charming 'secret garden' with lawn and fruit trees.

This area is almost entirely surrounded by stone walls with wide ranging views over open countryside.
