The Old School House is situated in the historic and attractive village of Monkland next to the church dating back to the 11th century and manor of the same period. There is plenty of opportunity for walking with the Common close by and further afield, the beautiful border countryside is well worth exploring as is the Black and White Village Trail including the picturesque villages of Pembridge, Weobley and Eardisland. Just less than 3 miles distant is the market town of Leominster where there is a good range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities. The Cathedral city of Hereford, 12 miles, is within easy commuting distance and has extensive services including theatre, independent school, leisure centres, hospital, retail centre and excellent rail links to London Paddington and Birmingham New Street. Access to the motorway network is via junction 4 of the M50 near Ross-on-Wye, 27 miles distance.
The Old School House is a charming example of a Victorian stone school built in 1857 which has been converted and extended in a most sympathetic manner using materials of the highest quality. Stained glass windows, arched doors and bespoke joinery are just a few of the design features to be found in this fantastic, four bedroom house. Arched glass paned doors open into the delightful vestibule with tiled floor, wood ceiling and stone windows. Handcrafted double arched doors lead into the spacious and light sitting room which has a mezzanine floor above and is partially vaulted with exposed stone wall incorporating stone mullioned stained glass windows. A wood surround fireplace has a woodburner on a tiled hearth and built in shelving on either side. Ledge and brace doors open in to two side passages, one of which has an exposed stone wall, beams and door out to the drive whilst the other has exposed ceiling beams and doors off to the study with stairs up, the lovely wooden conservatory and downstairs cloakroom. From both passages are doors into the charming dining room with painted beams a two arched niches. An archway takes you into the large kitchen/breakfast room with painted beams and bespoke kitchen consisting of cream painted units with wood worktops, white Belfast sink, integrated dishwasher and washing machine, stainless steel oven and ceramic hob built into a dresser base, space for an American style fridge/freezer, island unit and an Esse stove. An external door opens onto the patio. The decorative staircase takes you past another stained glass window and up to the landing. The mezzanine master bedroom looks to the stained glass windows situated in the sitting room and has the exposed timbers of the wood frame with vaulted ceiling. The exposed stone wall has further ornate windows and the en-suite bathroom has a vaulted ceiling and coloured ball and claw free standing bath. Three further bedrooms have exposed timbers and the family bathroom has a tiled floor with a white suite, including a slipper bath.
The property is approached from a lane and through decorative wooden double gates onto the gravel drive leading to the double car port and generous parking space. The gardens have been designed with the use of lawn and hard landscaping to produce an attractive and easily maintained outside space. Bordering the drive is the lawn with circular gravel area ideal for seating and bed planted with shrubs. A decked area has an arbour seat and a wooden summer house looks across the lawn to the house. Ornamental railings and gate take you into the side and rear garden with a mixture of gravel, stone, paving and sleepers providing an interesting mix of surfaces and colour. An area of old sleepers provides the perfect spot for al fresco dining. This part of the garden overlooks a stream abundant with wildlife and there are steps leading down to the waterside. A brick built outhouse has an electric sauna and there is an open air hot tub, both by separate negotiation. A rockery provides colour and there is a log store and wood shed housing the boiler. To the front of the property is a Border Oak double garage with a lovely light room above currently used as a hobby room.
