Set in a tranquil location on the fringes of the picturesque village of Whinburgh, The Old School, dating back to 1875, offers a wealth of charm and character throughout with an abundance of natural light. With mature grounds of approximately one third of an acre this unique home has been sympathetically renovated and restored throughout by the current owner and offers flexible accommodation with the potential to create a studio or self-contained accommodation. The property boasts a superb south facing drawing room with full height arched window to the gable end. A door leads to a room currently used as a utility space with access to a separate cloakroom and wet room. A further door from the main reception room opens into an adjoining room with equally imposing arched window. Currently used as a studio, this would also make a superb bedroom with stairs rising to the mezzanine level. With a newly built kitchen with feature lantern ceiling and separate pantry, the property further boasts an open plan dining room and informal living room.
