Description

Nestled within the charming conservation area of Hyssington, Yr Hen Ysgol offers an idyllic rural escape amidst the Shropshire & Welsh hills. The tranquil hamlet boasts a vibrant community with a village hall, playground, and church. Nearby Churchstoke provides local amenities, while Bishops Castle and Montgomery (10-15 minute drive) offer a wealth of facilities.

The sympathetic restoration seamlessly blends modern comforts with the property's rich history. Witness this dedication in the meticulously revamped porch, now featuring a grand new oak front door and elegant limestone flooring. Stepping inside, the original school hooks remain as a charming nod to the past.

The newly fitted bathroom exudes timeless elegance with a freestanding claw bath adorned with a period mixer tap, offering a luxurious soak. A spacious shower cubicle, pedestal hand wash basin, and high-level traditional WC complete this haven of modern convenience, all presented with a keen eye for period aesthetics.

Throughout the property, high-quality materials are evident, including locally sourced elements to further strengthen the connection to the surrounding landscape. Farrow & Ball paints provide a sophisticated backdrop, perfectly complementing exposed original beams and stone features. Additionally, aluminium double-glazed windows with thermal break ensure energy efficiency without compromising the home's historic charm.

This meticulous renovation strikes a perfect balance between respecting the property's heritage and providing contemporary comfort, creating a truly exceptional home steeped in character and charm.

Entrance

Step through the charming entrance porch into a heart-warming haven. The open-plan kitchen/dining/family room boasts a vaulted ceiling & dual-aspect stone windows, flooding the space with natural light & framing idyllic garden views. A stunning stone chimney breast featuring a woodburning stove adds a touch of warmth & ambiance, perfect for cosy evenings.

Ground Floor

The kitchen itself is a culinary dream, featuring an array of cream-painted timber floor cupboards with charming beech & tiled worktops. A ceramic Belfast sink, double electric freestanding cooker with induction hob, and ample space for a dishwasher & fridge cater to your cooking needs. Gather around the spacious dining table, all while enjoying the unique character of the original stone wall & stone-framed window.

For added convenience, a newly fitted oak stable-style door in the boot room grants direct access to the landscaped garden. This practical space also leads to a newly renovated bathroom, featuring a luxurious freestanding claw bath adorned with a period mixer tap. A spacious shower cubicle, pedestal hand wash basin, and high-level traditional WC complete this modern oasis.

First Floor

Climb a unique Pear Stairs creation, featuring a locally sourced wooden handrail, to a light-filled galleried landing. Sleek glass balustrades offer unobstructed views as they guide you to the expansive master bedroom on one side and a charming study/bedroom 2 on the other.

Sunlight streams through the master bedroom's delightful circular stone window, complete with its original rope-opening mechanism. A Velux window adds to the bright and airy feel. Ample storage awaits in a large, fitted wardrobe, while tasteful Graham & Brown wallpaper complements the dramatic effect of exposed beams across the vaulted ceiling.

Across the landing, the study/bedroom 2 area invites quiet contemplation with its original stone wall, exposed beams, and vaulted ceiling. Gaze down through the glass balustrade for a unique perspective of the ground floor below.

This is a sanctuary of light and character, a perfect blend of modern style and historic charm.

Outbuilding

Beyond the main house lies an exciting opportunity: an attached old toilet block currently serving as a storage shed and gym. With positive pre-planning advice, this versatile space holds the potential to be transformed into a second bedroom or additional living accommodation, adding significant value and flexibility to your home (Subject to necessary consents).

Imagine creating a guest suite, a home office, or a playroom for the little ones – the possibilities are endless!

Enjoy panoramic views of Corndon & Roundton Hill from the gravelled seating area, perfect for al fresco dining or unwinding with a good book.
