    -Full Details

    Pleasantly situated in the very heart of this highly regarded South Oxfordshire village, no.1 The Old School House is, as the name suggests, part of the former village school. Originally dating from the mid to late nineteenth century and, having not been modernised in the last twenty to thirty years, it now offers the ideal opportunity to remodel and extend to create an unusual and exciting home.

    Planning permission has been granted to construct a two storey extension, creating a four bedroom family home; South Oxfordshire District Council - P22/S1158/HH.

    The accommodation is flexible but is currently arranged as follows. Downstairs, there is a large sitting room, with a working fireplace, a fitted kitchen with a wonderful vaulted ceiling, a good size dining room, a large double bedroom and a family bathroom. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and plenty of eaves storage. However, with the property requiring updating, there is plenty of scope to re-arrange the accommodation to suit different needs.

    Outside there is an enclosed mature garden, a detached garage and gravel driveway parking.
