Description
Old School House, Alverdiscott
Old School House, built in 1876, is a detached character property that originally served as the schoolhouse and headmaster's residence. This charming, unlisted home is located in the idyllic village of Alverdiscott, offering picturesque views of the church and rolling hills. Its convenient proximity to Torrington, Barnstaple, and Bideford ensures both tranquillity and accessibility.
The current owners have lovingly restored much of the property, maintaining its historic charm while incorporating modern comforts. A standout feature is the recently renovated kitchen diner with a mezzanine. Entering through the porch, with ample space for coats and Wellington boots, you are greeted by a kitchen with vaulted ceilings and triple-aspect windows that flood the space with natural light. The kitchen showcases high and low cream units, granite work surfaces, an island with seating, and original wood flooring that enhances the home's vintage appeal.
A spiral staircase leads to the mezzanine, now used as an office with spectacular views. The dining area, part of the open kitchen diner, includes a new log burner, double-aspect windows, and a solid wood bookcase. The kitchen is well-equipped with integrated appliances such as a freezer, fridge, dishwasher, oven, grill, warming drawer, and microwave space. At the rear, a door opens to a potential walk-in larder.
The cosy sitting room is divided by a central staircase, with a snug area on one side that could serve as a breakfast room, office, or playroom. This room features glimpses of open stonework and a log burner for chilly evenings. The rear utility room could be transformed into a wet room bathroom, complete with high and low units, a sink, power, and lighting.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms: two spacious doubles and a smaller double. The family bathroom is fully tiled and includes a full-size bath, sink, and WC. Outside, the property is situated down a private lane, ensuring peace and quiet. The front garden includes a five-bar gate, ample parking, and a large garage ideal for a workshop. The home is equipped with solar panels, an air source heat pump, and private drainage, making it both sustainable and comfortable. This beautifully restored historic property offers a serene slice of heritage in a peaceful setting.
