Upton

Tucked discreetly off the idyllic Upton Green, this characterful Old School boasts reams of immaculately presented, brilliantly idiosyncratic accommodation, including three double bedrooms and multiple receptions. Under current ownership, The Old School House has undergone extensive renovation and extension, offering an idyllic sanctuary with all the charm one could hope for, alongside invaluable functionality for a fulfilling lifestyle in a highly sought-after village location.

The sweeping driveway leads to the highly private plot on which this home sits, while the attractive original front door reveals the eclectic accommodation that awaits. The open-plan kitchen/dining/living room is packed with personality and fosters a wonderfully sociable and modern way of living – perfect for family gatherings or hosting loved ones. The kitchen is complemented by a well-equipped utility room with ample storage, space for white goods, and a guest WC. Bringing excellent balance to the open-plan space is the formal sitting room, brimming with character under the original barrelled ceiling of the old school, now providing a delightful and embracing reception in which to unwind amidst the warm character and wood-burning stove.

Three generous double bedrooms are cleverly split between two wings of The Old School House. The principal suite, located on one side of the property, showcases a striking vaulted ceiling, dreamy countryside views, and a high-end en-suite fitted with a luxurious and characterful three-piece suite. Two further double bedrooms are situated at the opposite end of the home, each enjoying its own unique character and well-served by the central family shower room.

The splendid plot on which the home sits extends to approximately half an acre (subject to survey) and is mostly laid to lawn, providing ample space and privacy for all to enjoy. The paved sun terrace is a superb spot to soak up the all-day sunshine and glorious countryside views, while a selection of outbuildings takes care of storage and practicalities required for a fulfilling country lifestyle.
