About
McEwan Fraser Legal is delighted to present this period, former school house, and part exchange may be available. Ask us for more details.
School House, Kinnell is a distinguished former schoolhouse with extensive gardens, outbuildings and exceptional space.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a character home, combining period origins with modern family living.
Homes that successfully blend character, scale and flexibility are increasingly sought after, particularly in semi-rural settings where space and lifestyle are key decision drivers.
The property presents as a handsome and well-balanced home, with a layout that reflects both its original character and its evolution into a practical family residence.
The sense of space is immediate, both internally and externally, supported by a high standard of presentation throughout. The ground floor is arranged to support both everyday living and entertaining.
Entry is via a porch into a central hall, leading through to a generously proportioned lounge featuring a fireplace as a focal point.
French doors connect the lounge to a sitting room, which in turn flows naturally into the dining area and onward to the kitchen.
This sequence of rooms creates excellent circulation and allows the space to be used flexibly depending on the occasion.
The dining and family areas enjoy views across the pond and gardens, reinforcing the connection between the home and its surroundings, a feature that consistently resonates with buyers seeking a more relaxed lifestyle setting.
The kitchen is spacious and well-fitted with an extensive range of cabinets, offering ample storage and preparation space.
There is sufficient room for a breakfasting table, with potential for an island if desired.
A utility room of notable size adds further practicality, supporting laundry, storage and household organisation.
Also on the ground floor is a bedroom and a shower room, providing flexibility for guests, multi-generational living or home working.
Upstairs, the property provides three further bedrooms, all well-proportioned and adaptable to a variety of needs.
A bathroom serves this level, creating a straightforward and functional arrangement for family living. The external space is a defining element of this property.
The gardens are extensive, well-maintained and thoughtfully arranged, offering a variety of areas for relaxation, recreation and enjoyment.
A pond provides an attractive focal point, enhancing the overall setting and outlook from the home.
A large driveway offers ample parking, suitable for multiple vehicles and ideal for those with a caravan or motorhome.
The property further benefits from a double garage, a workshop and an additional range of outbuildings.
These structures, formerly used as horse boxes and tack rooms, have been adapted to provide flexible space suitable for storage, workshop use or potential home office or gym environments.
Viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the scale and opportunity on offer.
