IF THE call of village life has your heart set on a move to a picture postcard rural setting, make sure to view The Old Dame School, a Grade II listed property that has been sympathetically renovated by the current owners.

What they have created is a family home in which all mod cons sit alongside traditional features including sash windows, open fireplaces, shuttered windows and exposed floorboards.

The ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance hall with oak parquet flooring; rear hallway; study with recessed shelving; breakfast kitchen; spacious living room with fireplace, high ceilings, exposed floorboards and shuttered windows; and cosy dining room with double aspect windows and oak parquet flooring. The modern fitted kitchen has oak counter tops and units and a Belfast sink.

The rear hall provides access to the rear garden and has a door to the cellar.

Upstairs is the family bathroom, wet room and four double bedrooms, including the master bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and traditional style en-suite bathroom with panelled walls and exposed beams and floorboards. All of the bedrooms have open fireplaces and views over the front or rear gardens.

There may be the possibility of extending the property by converting the attic space into a master suite, subject to obtaining all necessary approvals and listed building consent.

The Old Dame School is set in lawned gardens with wrought iron railings. The garden to the rear has arched wrought iron gates, a timber decking area, stone outbuilding, timber garden shed, with lawn and gravel. There is also a gravelled parking space for one vehicle to the rear of the property.

A highlight of the property is a beautiful stained glass arch window on the half landing.

Situated in the village of Hunton, The Old Dame School is on the market at a guide price of £410,000.
