The Green, Badby

MOST CHARMING PERIOD STONE PROPERTY OF HISTORICAL INTEREST LOCATED IN A POPULAR VILLAGE SETTING ADJACENT TO THE GREEN

The Old School House is a particularly attractive Grade II listed period stone village home, dating from the early 19th Century and formerly serving as the village school. Steeped in history and full of character, the property retains a wealth of charming period features, including exposed timbers, stonework, wood burning stoves and unusual mezzanine floors. Now offered for sale with vacant possession, this is a wonderfully individual home with a warm and welcoming feel, occupying a pleasant position within this attractive village.

On entering through the panelled front door, you are welcomed into a generous dining hall, where exposed ceiling timbers and a Clearview wood burning stove immediately set the tone for the character found throughout the house. From here, the most attractive sitting room has tall ceilings, diamond leaded windows to the front and side elevations and a stable-style door opening onto the side garden. A central fireplace with an inset Clearview wood burning stove provides a lovely focal point to the room.

From the dining hall, steps rise to a mezzanine floor, which offers excellent flexibility as a study, reading room or additional reception space. With its open balustrade and large stone mullion window to the side, this is a particularly charming part of the house. Steps lead down from the dining hall to the kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a range of base and eye-level cabinets together with an oil-fired Aga-style range cooker. A door opens directly onto the rear garden, making this a practical and sociable space for everyday living. Also on the ground floor is a good-sized bathroom and a well-proportioned bedroom, which has double doors opening onto the rear garden together with a fitted cupboard. On the first floor, the landing leads to two further good-sized bedrooms and a recently fitted shower room.

The Old School House is a home with a real sense of history and individuality. Its combination of attractive stone elevations, original features, generous rooms and pretty gardens gives it a character that is increasingly difficult to find, while the flexible accommodation provides plenty of scope for modern village living.
