School Lane, Castle Eaton, Wiltshire, SN6

As the name suggests “The Old School” is a converted Victorian schoolhouse that offers generous and modern accommodation while still retaining charm and character with a rural backdrop. The property benefits from ample off street parking, an outbuilding and a landscaped garden, all set within the popular village of Castle Eaton.

Under their stewardship, the current owners have, in recent years, undertaken a number of material improvements to the home including installing a new gas combination boiler, replacing the dormer and garden room windows, professionally repaired and renovated the 'old' arched windows and modernised the outbuilding to facilitate conversion to ancillary accommodation if required.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors with the ground floor comprising a large and welcoming entrance hall with a limestone tiled floor, sitting room with wood burner, back off the hall is a dining room that leads into the kitchen and through to the garden room also with a limestone tiled floor with a cloakroom off.

The first floor consists of four bedrooms with the principal bedroom benefitting from an en-suite bathroom, while the other three bedrooms are serviced by a separate family bathroom. Vaulted ceilings and exposed beams are a feature of the first floor accommodation.

Outside, to the front, gated access leads to an extensive frontage providing ample parking. The landscaped garden lies to the side with recently installed fencing screens and secures from the drive. The original detached outbuilding has been converted in to two useful and sizeable storage rooms serviced with electrics, water and drainage and offers the potential, subject to necessary permission, to create ancillary accommodation.

With the River Thames and its Thames Path National Trail running through the village and lying to the east of the bustling Cotswold town of Cirencester, Castle Eaton is in a rural, yet accessible, location surrounded by lovely countryside providing fantastic walks and an abundance of wildlife.

Within the village there is a well-supported public house, The Red Lion, with gardens that roll
down to the river, and the 13th century St Marys Parish Church. The Village is characterised by its older buildings, dating from about 1650 to 1850 most of which are in the Street, the original main thoroughfare. Built of local stone, these buildings give Castle Eaton the look and feel of a traditional Cotswold village. Castle Eaton was awarded the Best Kept Small Village 2022

Cirencester is to the west with excellent recreational and sporting facilities including polo and the nearby Cotswold Water Park with its assorted water sports. There are supermarkets, a
leisure centre, hospital and many other essential services. There is an excellent choice of local schooling and private schools, with Westonbirt School in Tetbury, Prior Park Prep school in the pretty market town of Cricklade (two miles) and Pinewood School at Bourton (six miles).

Castle Eaton is eight miles from Swindon mainline station with its high-speed rail service to London Paddington, Bristol and Bath. Oxford and Cheltenham are both a thirty-minute car
journey away and the M4 and M5 are also easily accessible.
