We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
The Old School is a distinctive former schoolhouse offering spacious, characterful accommodation, generous parking and Set in an elevated position on the edge of the village of Frostenden offering a large plot Entering from the side of the property, a welcoming entrance hall opens into an impressive L-shaped kitchen, industrial in style and featuring sliding doors to an enclosed courtyard garden — ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.
From the hall, a door leads to a well-appointed ground floor bedroom suite with a dressing room and en suite shower room, while French doors open directly onto the garden.
Beyond the kitchen is a utility room and two separate hallways which wrap around to the front of the property.
One hallway provides access to a WC, the principal front entrance and the magnificent main sitting room — formerly the school hall — a stunning space rich in original character and architectural detail, complete with a spiral staircase rising to the first floor.
The second hallway leads to the dining room, conservatory and useful storage area, while also connecting through to the sitting room.
The first floor offers four further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The largest bedroom, positioned to the rear of the property, is particularly spacious.
All bedrooms retain a wealth of original features, adding to the home’s charm and individuality. Outside, the grounds are both varied and intriguing, offering multiple areas to relax and enjoy.
Immediately to the rear of the property is a lawned garden beside the driveway and former pond.
A range of outbuildings provide versatile additional space, while the enclosed courtyard sits conveniently adjacent to the kitchen.
The land gently slopes away from the house towards a wooded area, with the driveway continuing down to a separate access point onto the road.
