3 rooms house of 206m² in Eaton Bishop

Originally the village school, this remarkable home has been thoughtfully transformed into a unique and highly versatile residence, retaining the wonderful proportions and character of its former life while creating an exceptional contemporary living space. At the heart of the home is the stunning open-plan living area, formed from the original classrooms. The impressive vaulted proportions create a wonderful sense of space and light, while the mezzanine gallery above provides an eye-catching architectural feature and a fantastic vantage point overlooking the main reception area. Large glazed doors frame views across the gardens and surrounding countryside, bringing the outside in throughout the year. The accommodation flows naturally from this central space. A welcoming drawing room provides a more intimate setting, complete with a wood-burning stove and direct access to the gardens, while a separate reception room offers excellent flexibility as a study, snug or occasional third bedroom. The kitchen and dining area form a sociable hub for everyday living and entertaining, with ample space for family dining and direct access outside. A practical utility and boot room sits to one side of the house, ideal for country living and offering useful additional storage and external access. The first floor is arranged around a striking mezzanine landing that overlooks the principal living space below. From here, two generous double bedrooms are accessed, bedroom 1 having built in storage and en suite shower room, along with there being a separate bathroom, creating comfortable and private accommodation for both family and guests. Outside, the gardens wrap around the property and have been beautifully designed to provide a mixture of lawn, terrace and established planting. Mature shrubs, fruit trees and carefully positioned seating areas create a peaceful setting from which to enjoy the far-reaching westerly views and spectacular sunsets. A gravel driveway provides ample parking and a welcoming approach to this truly individual home.
