Nestled on the charming School Lane in the highly regarded rural village of Aston, Old School House is a truly special late Victorian former school, beautifully transformed into a characterful three-bedroom detached home.
Rich in history and brimming with original charm, this distinctive property offers a wonderful blend of period character and comfortable modern living.
The welcoming entrance hallway sets the tone for the home, leading to a thoughtfully arranged ground floor.
A spacious open-plan living and dining room provides the perfect setting for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring elegant walk-in bay windows and a striking log burner set within an exposed brick surround, creating a warm and inviting focal point.
One of the most remarkable spaces within the home is the stunning library.
With its impressive high ceilings and built-in window shutters, this unique room is full of atmosphere and character, offering a peaceful retreat for reading, working, or relaxing.
The ground floor accommodation is completed by a well-appointed breakfast kitchen, ideal for informal dining, alongside a practical utility room and a convenient guest WC.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress with three generous double bedrooms.
The main bedroom benefits from its own ensuite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. Externally, Old School House enjoys excellent outside space.
A private driveway leads to a double garage, while a variety of useful outbuildings provide additional storage or potential for further use.
The property is complemented by both front and rear gardens, offering pleasant outdoor areas to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
The village of Aston offers an idyllic rural lifestyle while remaining well connected.
Residents can enjoy a true taste of countryside living, with the village hall and a local farm selling fresh eggs within easy walking distance.
For those who enjoy the outdoors, scenic countryside walks through Maer Woods are close by, making this a perfect location for those seeking tranquillity without isolation.
Old School House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive and character-filled home in a sought-after village setting.
