This former schoolhouse on about three acres has been substantially refurbished but retains period features, including timber panelled ceiling, quarry-tiles and cut-stone window surrounds. Built in the 19th century, it has a living area with stone fireplace on the ground floor along with a kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. Above are two bedrooms. BER exempt. Gorgeous character with neo-Gothic touches and other period details intact such as exposed stone walls and patterned timber-panel ceiling.
Still needs more work done on it – although most of it has been completed in a sympathetic way – but it is habitable .
