Enjoying notable eye-catching kerb-appeal and brimming with lots of cottage charm coupled with a wonderful, high quality finish throughout, this totally unique mid terrace cottage is steeped in local history and is an integral part of the wonderful, peaceful setting. Positioned along the tree-lined School Lane in Haigh & enviably set back from the road & surrounded by pretty open fields & thick woodland - Haigh Endowed Grammar School was the first school to be recorded in the parish. The building was originally erected about 1634 on the site but was converted in the 19th century into 4 cottages known as "Old Haigh School”. We are delighted to offer for sale no 3 Old Haigh School, as this is a rare and very privileged opportunity to occupy one of the area's most iconic buildings that is instantly recognisable to any passers-by. The property has benefited from numerous recent improvements and modifications by the current owner, with great care taken to retain the home’s Victorian sensibility whilst also modernising in such a way that potential buyers can just move in & enjoy the living space & setting. In brief the home comprises; a vestibule, stunning front lounge with exposed brick chimney & cast iron burner, a sleek, high spec fitted kitchen which is a triumph in design & finish, comprising a superb porcelain tiled floor, quality Mirostone worktops, a range of integrated appliances & large central breakfast bar. Upstairs, there are two impeccably presented bedrooms including a large & impressive master suite with elegant fitted wardrobes and a modern three piece bathroom. The loft is also a particular highlight - large enough to accommodate an additional bedroom and bathroom it already has a two Velux windows installed, is floored & accessed via a drop down ladder.
Externally, the cottage is set back off the main lane and has comfortable vehicular access, ample off road parking plus a detached garage and workshop with EV charging point. To the rear is a beautiful landscaped patio area with two additional separate gardens that are nestled behind the property & flanked by mature trees plus outbuildings . These extra pieces of land are picturesque additions to this unique and lovely home. The gardens enjoys a westerly orientation and therefore lots of late summer sun. Viewings are essential so that buyers can appreciate all this superb property has to offer and are now invited.
