Forming an integral part of the history of this iconic North Cotswold village built in 1842 and the village school until the early 1900's, this attached early Victorian, two-storey, four double bedroomed village residence offers 2400 sq.ft of accommodation, perfect for growing families. The property not only has a dining room with a separate sitting room warmed by a homely woodburning stove, but also a separate studio suitable for a variety of uses including the option of a fifth bedroom. One of the main features of the property is the substantial breakfast kitchen with a good compliment of units and integrated appliances all within a two-storey rear extension and becoming the main beating heart of the property. At first floor level the four double bedrooms are complimented by a four piece bathroom suite and a recently renewed separate shower room suite. Intelligent use of window lighting incorporates several Velux windows and a particularly effective gallery-style landing above the entrance hall allowing optimum light penetration. More technically the property has gas fired central heating with two loft water tanks and the property has double glazed windows throughout.
