A former schoolhouse combining wonderful period character, versatile living space, generous gardens, excellen Home Report Attached A distinctive former village schoolhouse dating from the early 1900s, this characterful home offers an appealing combination of period detail, generous living space and modern upgrades, all within the attractive coastal village of St Cyrus.
Retaining reminders of its original use, including high ceilings, decorative cornicing, traditional wall panelling and an original school feature window, the property has a sense of history that sets it apart from more conventional homes.
Double entrance doors open into a vestibule, followed by an inviting hallway with an etched-glass panel door and tiled-effect flooring.
The lounge is a particularly attractive reception room, benefiting from windows to both the front and side and a working fireplace with black inlay and hearth creating a strong focal point.
At the heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen and dining room, fitted with a range of wall and base units, coordinated work surfaces, integrated fridge and freezer, stainless-steel double electric ovens and a ceramic hob.
The dining area enjoys an outlook towards the garden, making this a sociable space for everyday meals and entertaining.
A ground floor bedroom is a useful space which could be used as a study/office and features a characterful school window. A cloakroom/WC and useful storage complete the ground floor.
Upstairs are two well-proportioned double bedrooms.
The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes with mirrored sliding doors and direct access to an en-suite bathroom, while the second double bedroom is served by a separate shower room.
Loft access provides additional practical storage potential. The outdoor space is another real strength.
The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature hedging providing privacy, while a monobloc driveway offers parking for around three vehicles.
To the rear is a decked area, together with two useful outbuildings.
One is currently arranged as a laundry facility, while the second has been converted for use as a home office, with power, spotlighting making it an excellent asset for anyone working remotely or requiring dedicated space away from the main house.
