Enjoying a beautiful open outlook over fields, the Old School House sits in half an acre of secluded gardens at Church Lane in Martyr Worthy.

This stunning Victorian schoolhouse conversion does not conceal its origins but rather embraces the architectural detailing with contrasting brickwork, high gables and tall windows in the former school room. This unique character home is situated in a quiet lane near St Swithun’s Church and the lovely River Itchen and has access to countryside walks which follow the course of the river. As well as enjoying the tranquil location, residents will no doubt appreciate the proximity of Winchester city centre, the train station and access to the M3.

The original school room is the focal point on the ground floor, doubling as a sitting and dining room and stretching to almost 30 feet in length. This lovely room has windows on three sides, a grand fireplace and doors to the front and rear gardens. On the other side of the entrance hall is a cosy sitting room, again with a fireplace, and a spacious kitchen/breakfast room behind. There is also a rear lobby connecting the kitchen with the garden, and a cloakroom.

Four double bedrooms, all with feature windows and lovely outlooks, are arranged off the first floor landing, together with a bathroom and a separate shower room.

A large detached garage has been built in the garden in a similar style to the house and there is plenty of additional parking on the driveway. The gardens wrap around the house and the lawns ensure simple maintenance and maximise the enjoyment of the views.
