Location & Situation
The Old School
Entrance provides access into the open plan FORMER SCHOOL ROOM which is 9mx6m and features cast iron log burner and fireplace, adjacent to which is the LIBRARY and LOUNGE area. Standing opposite is a DINING AREA which consists of 4 refectory tables and is arranged to seat 40 diners. Forming part of the main building, with external access only, is a good size DRYING ROOM.
The Headmaster’s House
Attached to the school with both internal and external entrances, arranged as follows:
Ground floor: well-equipped CATERING KITCHEN, large SELF-CATERING KITCHEN with direct access to the principal communal lounge area, this is 5mx3.5m and, at one time, had been the house’s lounge. It has now been converted to enable the residents to prepare their own food/snacks and beverages. Access to first floor.
First floor: 3 DOUBLE SIZE BEDROOMS, all with WASH HAND BASINS as well as a BATHROOM including a wash hand basin, WC and bath.
On a commercial basis, when the hostel was operating fully, these rooms were often used as teachers’ bedrooms as the hostel was often occupied by school groups.
LETTING ACCOMMODATION
Access though to the principal accommodation which is split into 4 SEPARATE BUNK ROOMS.
The ground floor currently houses 18 RESIDENTS IN 9 BUNKS with booth style arrangements created by solid pine partitioning with additional curtains. It previously housed 20 but part of the room has been modified to create an ADDITIONAL LOUNGE area. There are also 4 wash hand basins en suite.
There are TWO SMALLER ROOMS sleeping 4 and 6 respectively, both with wash hand basins en suite.
The FOURTH ROOM sleeps 10, again partitioned with wash hand basins en suite, as well as an EN SUITE SHOWER ROOM and connected toilet.
A further two interconnecting ablution rooms provide 4 SHOWERS and 3 INDIVIDUAL WCs off the inner hallway.
EXTERNAL
There is a raised, terraced, lawned GARDEN at the front of the property with seating, enclosed by cast iron railings, with excellent views of the adjacent valley. To the rear, there is a large sloping area of garden which houses some OUTBUILDINGS, one of which was used as ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION, the other being a good sized WORKSHOP. There is also a concrete plinth built by our client before the COVID-19 pandemic which was intended to house a bike shed.
The grounds are charming with a terrace for a fire pit, a stream running through the same and many mature shrubs and borders.
