A lovely converted Victorian school providing over 5,150 square feet of accommodation in a sought-after village.
The Old School is a handsome Victorian building which benefits from not being listed, with tall arched gothic stone mullions under a patterned tiled roof with a bell turret. The adjoining school house is in separate ownership.The size of rooms and extent of the accommodation are exceptional, with reception rooms, entertaining areas, and six bedrooms. The property would lend itself to multi-generation living, with three staircases. There are boarded timber, parquet and engineered timber flooring, exposed timbers to some ceilings, ledged and braced and panel timber doors, a fitted bar to the games/family room, and a corner fireplace with a wood burner in the drawing room. The kitchen has a glazed gable and double doors to the garden, as well as a beautifully fitted kitchen/breakfast room with timber tops and an island with a granite top, breakfast bar, range cooker, and integrated appliances.There is a west-facing balcony to bedroom four with an external spiral staircase and a Juliet balcony to the principal bedroom. Bedroom three has a loft ladder to a mezzanine, and there are attractive bathrooms and shower rooms throughout. The fine vaulted first-floor games/sitting room has a pine-clad ceiling and exposed roof timbers and trusses.A pair of five-bar gates lead to a gravel drive and block-paved private parking to the front of the property, with a boundary garden wall and hedge. There is also side access to an attractive south-facing rear garden and expansive flagstone patio overlooking the river Stour and open countryside. The garden is lawned and terraced, with a wooden garden store, shrub borders and gravel paths. A brick outbuilding is ideal as a gym or home office.
The Old School lies in the heart of the popular village of Alderminster. The village is close to Stratford-upon-Avon and within easy walking distance of an award-winning gastro pub, The Bell. The local market town of Shipston-on-Stour provides an excellent selection of daily amenities. More extensive shopping and leisure facilities, including the world-renowned Royal Shakespeare Theare, can be found at nearby Stratford-upon-Avon. There is an excellent selection of state, grammar and private schools in the area, including boys and girls grammar schools in Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick, The Croft Prep School in Stratford-upon-Avon, Bloxham and Sibford near Banbury and Kitebrook near Moreton-in-Marsh. For the commuter, there is easy access to the M40 (J15) approximately 10 miles away, while there is a regular train service from Warwick Parkway and Banbury to London Marylebone and from Moreton-in-Marsh to London Paddington
