A fantastic detached three bedroom former school house set back from the road on the picturesque High Street of this extremely popular Buckinghamshire village.
DESCRIPTION The Old School House is a fantastic, Victorian detached home in the extremely popular village of Long Crendon. Set back from the road on the picturesque High Street, the property has an imposing charm with plenty of space to reconfigure and make the home your own. Long Crendon is just a few miles from the bustling market town of Thame and just over 5 minutes drive to the station at Haddenham, where fast trains will take you into London in just over half an hour. Long Crendon itself has a sought after village school, a selection of small local shops and pubs and is surrounded by some lovely countryside.
The Old School House is, as its name suggests, formerly the residence of the headteacher of the village school but today sits adjacent to the village hall and library. Set behind a stone wall, the property has an attractive facade with red brick detailing on the traditional pitched roof. The High Street in Long Crendon is a particularly desirable location within the village, featuring an eclectic mix of medieval thatched properties, 20th century homes and everything in between. In fact, It's this street that gave 'Crendon' its 'Long' back in the 16th century and the Old School House adds to the array of fascinating and charming properties along the stretch.
The approach to the property is through the main garden area at the front - an attractive, good sized lawned space with mature hedging and cottage style planting. The property itself benefits from the high ceilings you would hope to find in a house of this era, with a large sitting room to the front and a separate dining room. The property also benefits from a breakfast room, which is adjacent to the kitchen. The kitchen itself is neat, tidy and functional. There is also a large conservatory on the ground floor with a tiled floor and views out onto the garden.
Upstairs, there are three very good sized bedrooms, all with high ceilings and one with an original feature fireplace, as well as a family bathroom. The property is light and bright and has a spacious feel throughout.
This property puts you right at the heart of this popular village since at the rear, you'll find the village recreation ground - a lovely green open space which is still home to the local bowls club and tennis courts.
Detached homes in this location are extremely sought after, and ones on the historic High Street even more so. The Old School House is a wonderful opportunity to buy a character home with high ceilings in the heart of this popular village.
