A handsome, former schoolhouse set in the shadow of the parish
church, within the heart of this pretty, semi rural village. The
property has recently undergone a full programme of renovation,
including the re fitting of kitchen, bathroom and en suite, and has
a cottage garden and off road parking.
The Old School House has many fine character features
including a stunning fireplace in the sitting room and beautiful
arched windows in the sitting room and kitchen. The property has
recently undergone a comprehensive programme of renovation and now
benefits from a high quality kitchen, bathroom, and en suite, all
fitted by Cambridge Kitchens & Bathrooms. The property has also
been decorated throughout, with luxurious wallpaper hung in the
sitting room and study, enhancing the lovely character features the
property enjoys.
Approached over a neat frontage, there is a parking space set
safely behind a picket fence and a gate leading to a pretty cottage
garden planted with mature shrubs, including amongst others, a
buddleia, an apple tree, and a pretty yellow rose. A path leads to
the front door, and there is a small entrance hall with the
staircase rising to the first floor.
The sitting room is generously proportioned with arched
windows overlooking the front garden. There are picture rails,
exposed floorboards, and a lovely fireplace with a wooden surround
and ornate over mantle, inset with a stove. The owners have also
hung beautiful wallpaper which complements the character of the
room. From here double doors lead to the study family room, which
again has contemporaneous wallpaper, a pretty, tiled floor with
underfloor heating, and doors leading out to the rear
terrace.
The kitchen dining room is dual aspect, running front to back,
and is fitted to a very high standard. The dining area overlooks
the garden and has plenty of room for a dining table and chairs,
and there is a log burner and a beautiful tiled floor. The kitchen
is fitted with a range of floor and wall mounted cabinets; there is
a butler sink, a large range cooker and an integrated dishwasher,
washer drier, and fridge freezer. To the rear there is a small
lobby with a cloakroom off and a door out to the rear
terrace.
On the first floor, the landing has a window over the
staircase providing light over the stairwell, and there are lovely
views over adjacent gardens.
The property has three bedrooms, with the main bedroom having
a pretty fireplace and a recently re fitted en suite fitted with a
shower, w.c. and hand basin. The second bedroom is slightly smaller
but would still comfortably take a double bed and this has views
over the green to the front. The third bedroom is a generous, dual
aspect single room, which is accessed over the main bedroom. On the
first floor, there is also a family bathroom which is beautifully
fitted with a jet bath with shower over, w.c. and hand basin.
Outside, the principal garden is to the front of the property,
however, because it has been thoughtfully planted and is set back
from the road, it still offers a good degree of privacy. A smaller
private terrace extends across the rear of the house. The property
also has a short garage to the front, which is suitable for storing
garden furniture and alike.
West Wratting is a well regarded village, apparently the
second highest in Cambridgeshire, and is conveniently located for
access to the centres of Cambridge, Saffron Walden, and Newmarket
all of which are about 11 miles equidistant.
It is within the catchment of Balsham Primary School which
feeds Linton Village College with a school bus stop nearby on the
High Street.
Within the village, there is a Church, pub and sports field.
There are excellent day to day facilities including a small
supermarket, healthcare, hairdressing, pubs, and cafes in Linton,
which is about 5 miles southwest.
