Available on the open market for only the second time, is this stunning former school house, which has been lovingly restored and remodelled by the current owners. Sympathetically modernised whilst retaining many of the original features, the generously proportioned, stone-built character property sits on a plot of circa 1.5 acres with a rewilded wooded area, stream and natural spring. This really is your own slice of nature on your doorstep. The property itself briefly comprises of; living room with wood burning stove, dining room with wood burning stove, family kitchen, utility room, library, office, house bathroom, four double bedrooms, master en-suite, and separate guest house forming the fifth bedroom with its own WC. Externally, in addition to the wooded area there is a large south-facing lawned garden and patio area which is ideal for the family, extensive off-street parking on a gated driveway equipped with an electric car charger, and a 36ft concrete hardstanding that could form the base for a number of development ideas, subject to planning. The village of East Hardwick has a lovely family and community feel with plenty of opportunities to get involved in what’s going on, and the larger village of Ackworth, with its fantastic pubs and restaurants, is close by.
