Description
Occupying a delightful position within the heart of the highly regarded village of Illston-on-the-Hill, Middle School House is a charming period terraced home offering excellent potential for cosmetic improvement and modernisation. Enjoying generous gardens extending to approximately 0.17 acres and backing onto open countryside, the property combines character features, spacious accommodation and a wonderfully peaceful rural setting. The accommodation extends to approximately 904 sq. ft. and includes two bedrooms, two reception rooms and a gally kitchen, making it an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking a character home with scope to add value.
Accommdation - The property is entered via a welcoming hallway with staircase rising to the first floor and access into the principal reception rooms. The sitting room is a comfortable and bright space with dual front-facing windows and an attractive fireplace providing a focal point to the room. Beyond, the separate dining room offers excellent proportions for formal dining or family living and leads through into the kitchen at the rear.
The kitchen itself is arranged in a galley style with a range of fitted units, extensive work surfaces and windows overlooking the rear courtyard and garden beyond. While functional, the space offers clear potential for enhancement or possible reconfiguration, subject to the necessary consents. Throughout the ground floor there are a number of retained character features and an appealing sense of space and natural light.
To the first floor are two bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a particularly generous double room enjoying pleasant views over the surrounding gardens, whilst the second bedroom provides an ideal guest room, nursery or home office. The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite and, similar to the remainder of the property, presents an excellent opportunity for updating to a purchaser's own taste and specification.
Outside - The property enjoys a lovely frontage set behind established hedging with a pathway leading to the front entrance. To the rear is an enclosed courtyard terrace providing a pleasant seating area directly accessed from the kitchen, together with useful brick outbuildings/storage.
Beyond the courtyard lies the property's most impressive feature, a substantial mature rear garden extending to approximately 0.17 acres. Predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees and hedging, the garden offers a high degree of privacy and a wonderful backdrop of open countryside. The size of the plot offers excellent potential for landscaping, gardening enthusiasts or possible future extension potential, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
