The Old School House + The Chapel A truly exceptional and remarkably rare opportunity to acquire a Grade ll listed, beautifully restored former school house together with an impressive, detached chapel, creating a unique home of considerable character, versatility and distinction. The Old School House represents an exciting opportunity to own a property quite unlike anything else on the market. Sympathetically and extensively renovated by the current owners, this handsome detached former school house has undergone a comprehensive programme of works, completed with an exacting attention to detail and a clear appreciation for the history and character of the building. The result is a striking home in which the charm of the original property sits beautifully alongside the quality, comfort and convenience expected of modern living. From the impressive, vaulted accommodation and newly fitted kitchen to the flexible bedroom arrangement and beautifully presented interiors, considerable thought has been given to every aspect of the renovation. What makes this opportunity all the more remarkable, however, is the substantial former chapel positioned directly alongside the house and included within the sale. Currently vacant, this impressive additional building provides an extraordinary amount of space and presents its next owner with a multitude of possibilities, subject of course to any necessary planning permissions and consents. (If a buyer does not want the Chapel included in the sale, this can be negotiated). Together, the house and chapel form an incredibly unusual proposition and one that could appeal equally to those searching for an individual family home, buyers requiring extensive ancillary space, those working from home, or purchasers simply seeking a property with character and future potential. The Old School House Arranged over two floors and benefitting from two separate staircases, the accommodation within The Old School House is both generous and wonderfully versatile. At the heart of the home is undoubtedly the magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. Designed to provide a spectacular focal point for everyday family life and entertaining, this beautifully proportioned room is enhanced by its impressive, vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, creating a tremendous feeling of height, light and space. The newly installed kitchen has been finished to a particularly high standard, with an excellent range of contemporary cabinetry complemented by a substantial central island. An array of integrated appliances has been incorporated into the design, ensuring the kitchen is as practical as it is visually impressive. The island provides a natural gathering point, while the generous proportions allow the kitchen to flow seamlessly into the dining and living areas. This is a room designed to be enjoyed throughout the day: from informal breakfasts and family meals to larger gatherings and entertaining with friends. The open-plan arrangement makes excellent use of the proportions of the former school building, while the vaulted architecture serves as an attractive reminder of the property's fascinating past. A separate utility room provides valuable additional practicality and allows the principal kitchen and entertaining space to remain uncluttered. Throughout the remainder of the house, the accommodation continues the same combination of character, quality and flexibility. The property offers a four/five-bedroom arrangement, providing scope to adapt the rooms to suit the requirements of its next owner. Three en-suite facilities are complemented by a separate family bathroom, making the layout particularly well suited to family living and visiting guests. The unusual benefit of two staircases adds further interest and flexibility to the arrangement of the accommodation and reflects the individuality of the original building. Up one staircase you will find an incredible master bedroom, with vaulted ceilings and a beautifully fitted en-suite. Another staircase leads you up to a cosy snug/study, which could be used as an occasional bedroom, giving you a high degree of versatility. The entire property has been professionally dressed, creating interiors which complement the architecture and demonstrate how beautifully the spaces can be furnished. For purchasers who particularly appreciate the finished look of the home, there may also be an opportunity for the furniture and furnishings to be included within the sale by separate negotiation. The renovation itself has been far more than cosmetic. The current owners have undertaken an extensive programme of improvement throughout the property, including significant upgrades to its services, with a new gas central heating system with underfloor heating and electrical wiring forming part of the works. The intention has been to create a home that retains the identity and atmosphere of this historic building while providing a standard of finish appropriate for contemporary living. The Chapel Rarely does a property of this nature come to the market with such an exciting additional building. Immediately alongside The Old School House stands the substantial former chapel, an imposing and characterful building which is included within the sale and significantly enhances the appeal and possibilities of the overall property. Currently vacant, the chapel offers an exceptional volume of additional space and could lend itself to an enormous variety of uses. For some purchasers, it may provide superb storage, collections, equipment or recreational interests. For others, it could offer the foundations for an outstanding home office or working-from-home environment, private gym, studio, workshop or space connected with a business. Its sheer versatility is one of the defining qualities of the property. Depending upon an individual purchaser's ambitions, and subject to obtaining any planning permissions or other consents required for their intended use, the chapel offers considerable scope to evolve alongside the main house. For those with a creative vision, it is easy to appreciate just how significant an opportunity the building represents. Equally, a purchaser may simply wish to retain the chapel much as it is and enjoy the luxury of having an extraordinary amount of ancillary space immediately adjacent to their home. It is the combination of these two buildings that makes the sale so compelling. Character properties are increasingly difficult to find; a beautifully renovated former school house accompanied by its own substantial former chapel is rarer still. Outside The property is approached via gated driveway parking, providing off-road parking for several vehicles and creating an attractive sense of arrival. The garden is fully enclosed, making it both private and practical, and has been arranged to provide an enjoyable extension of the living accommodation. A patio area provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxing during the warmer months, leading naturally onto a level lawn. The relatively straightforward arrangement of the outside space complements the house particularly well, providing somewhere to enjoy without detracting from the architectural presence of the buildings themselves There are homes which stand apart simply because of their setting or their architecture, and then there are properties which offer something genuinely difficult to replicate. The Old School House & Chapel unquestionably falls into the latter category. The meticulous renovation of the former school house has created a sophisticated and highly individual home, with the spectacular vaulted kitchen, dining and living space providing an unforgettable centrepiece. Four/five-bedroom accommodation, three en-suites, a family bathroom, two staircases and beautifully finished interiors provide the versatility required for modern family life. Add to this the gated parking, enclosed garden and, most importantly, the substantial chapel immediately alongside, and the result is an offering of considerable rarity. Whether the chapel is ultimately used for business purposes, working from home, storage, leisure, a gym, studio or another use entirely, subject to the relevant consents, its inclusion provides possibilities that conventional residential properties simply cannot offer. For buyers searching for something individual, historic and beautifully finished, with exceptional additional space and the freedom to shape that space around their own lifestyle, The Old School House & Chapel deserves serious consideration. Offered to the market with no onward chain, this is a fascinating and highly distinctive property which must be viewed to fully appreciate the quality of the renovation, the scale of the accommodation and the extraordinary potential presented by the adjoining chapel.

L’ancienne école + La chapelle Une opportunité vraiment exceptionnelle et remarquablement rare d’acquérir une ancienne école classée II, magnifiquement restaurée, ainsi qu’une impressionnante chapelle détachée, créant ainsi une maison unique de grande qualité, polyvalence et distinction. L’ancienne école représente une occasion passionnante de posséder une propriété tout à fait différente de tout ce qui existe sur le marché. Rénovée avec sympathie et profondeur par les propriétaires actuels, cette élégante ancienne école a fait l’objet d’un programme complet de travaux, réalisés avec une attention minutieuse aux détails et une appréciation claire de l’histoire et du caractère du bâtiment. Le résultat est une maison saisissante où le charme de la propriété d’origine s’accorde parfaitement avec la qualité, le confort et la commodité attendus de la vie moderne. De l’impressionnant logement voûté et de la cuisine nouvellement équipée à la disposition flexible des chambres et aux intérieurs magnifiquement présentés, chaque aspect de la rénovation a été soigneusement réfléchi. Ce qui rend cette opportunité d’autant plus remarquable, c’est la vaste chapelle située directement à côté de la maison et incluse dans la vente. Actuellement vacant, ce bâtiment supplémentaire impressionnant offre un espace extraordinaire et offre à son prochain propriétaire une multitude de possibilités, bien sûr sous réserve des permis et autorisations nécessaires. (Si un acheteur ne souhaite pas que la chapelle soit incluse dans la vente, cela peut être négocié). Ensemble, la maison et la chapelle forment une proposition incroyablement inhabituelle qui peut plaire aussi bien à ceux qui cherchent une maison familiale individuelle, aux acheteurs nécessitant un espace annexe étendu, à ceux qui travaillent à domicile, ou aux acheteurs simplement à la recherche d’un bien avec du caractère et un potentiel futur. L’ancienne école Disposée sur deux étages et bénéficiant de deux escaliers séparés, l’hébergement de l’Old School House est à la fois généreux et merveilleusement polyvalent. Au cœur de la maison se trouve sans aucun doute la magnifique cuisine, salle à manger et salon. Conçue pour offrir un point focal spectaculaire pour la vie familiale quotidienne et les réceptions, cette pièce magnifiquement proportionnée est sublimée par son impressionnant plafond voûté et ses poutres apparentes, créant une sensation de hauteur, de lumière et d’espace. La cuisine nouvellement installée a été aménagée selon un niveau particulièrement élevé, avec une excellente gamme de meubles contemporains complétés par un important îlot central. Un ensemble d’appareils intégrés a été intégré au design, garantissant que la cuisine est aussi pratique qu’impressionnante visuellement. L’îlot offre un point de rassemblement naturel, tandis que ses proportions généreuses permettent à la cuisine de s’intégrer harmonieusement aux espaces de restauration et de salon. C’est une pièce conçue pour être appréciée toute la journée : des petits-déjeuners informels et repas familiaux aux grandes réunions et aux réceptions entre amis. L’aménagement à aire ouverte exploite parfaitement les proportions de l’ancien bâtiment scolaire, tandis que l’architecture voûtée rappelle agréablement le passé fascinant de la propriété. Une buanderie séparée offre une utilité supplémentaire précieuse et permet à la cuisine principale et à l’espace de réception de rester dégagés. Tout au long de la maison, l’hébergement conserve la même combinaison de caractère, qualité et flexibilité. La propriété propose une disposition de quatre ou cinq chambres, permettant d’adapter les pièces aux besoins de son prochain propriétaire. Trois installations avec salle de bain attenante sont complétées par une salle de bain familiale séparée, ce qui rend l’agencement particulièrement adapté à la vie familiale et aux invités invités. L’avantage inhabituel de deux escaliers ajoute encore plus d’intérêt et de flexibilité à l’agencement des logements et reflète l’individualité du bâtiment d’origine. En haut d’un escalier, vous trouverez une magnifique chambre parentale, avec des plafonds voûtés et une salle de bain attenante magnifiquement aménagée. Un autre escalier vous mène à un bureau douillet, qui peut servir de chambre occasionnelle, vous offrant une grande polyvalence. L’ensemble de la propriété a été aménagé de manière professionnelle, créant des intérieurs qui complètent l’architecture et démontrent à quel point les espaces peuvent être meublés avec merveille. Pour les acheteurs qui apprécient particulièrement l’aspect fini de la maison, il peut également y avoir la possibilité d’inclure les meubles et mobilier dans la vente par négociation séparée. La rénovation elle-même a été bien plus que cosmétique. Les propriétaires actuels ont entrepris un vaste programme d’améliorations dans toute la propriété, incluant des améliorations significatives de ses services, avec un nouveau système de chauffage central au gaz avec chauffage par le sol et câblage électrique faisant partie des travaux. L’objectif a été de créer une maison qui conserve l’identité et l’atmosphère de ce bâtiment historique tout en offrant un niveau de finition adapté à la vie contemporaine. La chapelle Rarement une propriété de ce type se présente sur le marché avec un bâtiment supplémentaire aussi passionnant. Juste à côté de l’Old School House se dresse l’ancienne chapelle imposante, un bâtiment imposant et de caractère inclus dans la vente et qui améliore considérablement l’attrait et les possibilités de l’ensemble de la propriété. Actuellement vacante, la chapelle offre un volume exceptionnel d’espace supplémentaire et pourrait se prêter à une grande variété d’usages. Pour certains acheteurs, elle peut offrir un excellent rangement, des collections, du matériel ou des activités récréatives. Pour d’autres, elle peut servir de fondations pour un bureau à domicile exceptionnel ou un environnement de télétravail, une salle de sport privée, un studio, un atelier ou un espace lié à une entreprise. Sa polyvalence est l’une des qualités déterminantes de la propriété. Selon les ambitions individuelles de l’acheteur, et sous réserve de l’obtention de tout permis de construire ou d’autres autorisations requises pour leur usage prévu, la chapelle offre une grande possibilité d’évoluer aux côtés de la maison principale. Pour ceux qui ont une vision créative, il est facile de comprendre à quel point le bâtiment représente une opportunité importante. De même, un acheteur peut simplement souhaiter conserver la chapelle telle qu’elle est et profiter du luxe d’avoir un espace annexe extraordinaire juste à côté de sa maison. C’est la combinaison de ces deux bâtiments qui rend la vente si attrayante. Il devient de plus en plus difficile de trouver des propriétés de caractère ; une ancienne école magnifiquement rénovée, accompagnée de sa propre chapelle imposante, est encore plus rare. À l’extérieur L’accès à la propriété se fait par un parking fermé, offrant un parking tout-terrain pour plusieurs véhicules et créant une attrayante sensation d’arrivée. Le jardin est entièrement clos, ce qui le rend à la fois privé et pratique, et a été aménagé pour offrir une extension agréable de l’espace de vie. Une terrasse offre un cadre idéal pour la restauration en plein air, les réceptions et la détente pendant les mois les plus chauds, menant naturellement à une pelouse plate. L’aménagement relativement simple de l’espace extérieur complète particulièrement bien la maison, offrant un endroit où profiter sans nuire à la présence architecturale des bâtiments eux-mêmes. Il existe des maisons qui se distinguent simplement par leur cadre ou leur architecture, et d’autres des propriétés qui offrent quelque chose de vraiment difficile à reproduire. L’Old School House & Chapel appartient sans conteste à cette dernière catégorie. La rénovation méticuleuse de l’ancienne école a créé un lieu sophistiqué et très personnel, avec la spectaculaire cuisine voûtée, la salle à manger et le salon offrant un centre inoubliable. Des logements de quatre ou cinq chambres, trois salles de bain attenantes, une salle de bain familiale, deux escaliers et des intérieurs magnifiquement finis offrent la polyvalence nécessaire à la vie familiale moderne. Ajoutez à cela le parking fermé, le jardin clos et, surtout, la grande chapelle juste à côté, et le résultat est une offre d’une rareté considérable. Que la chapelle soit finalement utilisée à des fins professionnelles, au télétravail, au stockage, aux loisirs, à une salle de sport, à un studio ou à un autre usage, sous réserve des autorisations pertinentes, son inclusion offre des possibilités que les propriétés résidentielles conventionnelles ne peuvent tout simplement pas offrir. Pour les acheteurs à la recherche de quelque chose d’unique, historique et magnifiquement aménagé, avec un espace supplémentaire exceptionnel et la liberté d’adapter cet espace à leur propre mode de vie, The Old School House & Chapel mérite une attention sérieuse. Proposée sur le marché sans chaîne de continuation, c’est une propriété fascinante et très distinctive qui doit être examinée pour apprécier pleinement la qualité de la rénovation, l’ampleur du logement et le potentiel extraordinaire offert par la chapelle attenante.
